✨ Pin-Up Style Headband ✨
🔹 What is pin-up?
Pin-up is a style popular in the 1940s–50s, known for femininity, brightness, and playful charm. Classic pin-up looks often included fitted dresses, heels, red lipstick, and the iconic headband with a knot and playful “ears.”
🔹 What is this headband?
It’s a wide fabric band tied on top of the head with a knot. The ends (“ears”) usually stick out upwards or sideways, creating a flirty accent. Most often these headbands were polka-dotted or in bold solid colors.

Step 1. Base
1. Open a project in the Accessories section.
2. Select the base headband shape (for example, the first in the line).
