How To Tie Your Boho Head Wrap

I'm in love with boho style head accessories. That's why I started making my own boho head wraps. Many of you have bought them from my Etsy shop, at various craft fairs I've been at, or from Cru Kauai. But, whenever I give them as gifts to my friends, the question always stands, "So how do I wear it?" Let me clarify that for you today. There's actually a ton of ways you can wear it:

You can wrap it around your head once, twice. Tie it at the nape of the neck, tie it on top of the head, on the side of the head, tuck the ends in… the opportunities are endless. Most recently, I've heard of women tying my boho's around their waists over a dress and tucking the long ends in! 

But today, let's go over the basic way of tying your boho.

1. Place the center of the wrap just above your forehead. Bangs can be left out, or tucked in.

4. Tie the ends in a knot on the top of your head.

For longer styles, you can start by doing step 2 under all your hair. For short hair, it works better to pull it out at the end.
Since all of my boho head wraps are reversible, 
I love how you get to see each fabric print by tying it this way. 

So, let's review the basic way to tie your boho:

HINT: I suggest you follow me on Instagram because I've been doing flash sales for my Etsy products, and they're going for less than my Etsy list price!!

Why I am afraid to post on Etsy and Pinterest - Along An Inland Sea

So, I've recently thought that foxes are just super cute. Not real ones, just the fake, red and white or brown or orange cute graphic ones. I've been pinning them, and "hearting" them on Etsy, but with slight hesitation. Here's why: it's almost a guarantee that my friend Cailin will research where it's from and buy it for me! It's a frequent occurrence. During Ivy's Elmo stage, she sent her hand painted elmo shoes. During the ladybug stage, we got a cute ladybug purse. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining... but here's what showed up in my mailbox this week:


Yes, those are fox print headbands! One for me, and one for Ivy. Of course I love them, but where she got them is even cooler. She got them from an Etsy shop called "Along An Inland Sea." The lady who runs it has a brother who curled with Cailin's uncle in the Winter Olympics a few years back. I LOVE random connections like that. And because of that, here in sunny Maui, I have some cute fox headbands.  

Isn't her logo adorable?! I want circular cards like that!

Check her out:


So, thank you Cailin, for being the awesome friend and for having the gift of "giving gifts."

Aloha, Rebecca
