The Headband Solution

As I have said, I like hats.  However, when there isn’t an appropriate hat to be found, we have made our own simple head attire.  One of the simplest ways to do this is to buy a simple headband to decorate.  I have to confess, this is not my original idea, but I have some talented ladies who created these “hats” from headbands.  We have a skit where all the characters are trees (“A Tree Planted by the Water”), and the headband with leaves glued to it was effective for each of the “saplings” on stage.  You may have a skit with sheep or wolves, and how much easier to just have a headband than to try to costume those characters in other ways!  Even the bridal veil is an easy way to portray a bride on stage.
