A headband idea

I've been thinking about a new dance headband for a while. The trim arrived and then more of the metal pieces arrived. Today was the day to stop thinking and actually get the pieces and lay them out and see what it looked like instead of trying to imagine it.

Here's my result. Nothing is sewn in place, it's just laid out and I go look at it, go away, come back. I want to be certain I like this before I commit myself to the sewing.

The trim I'm using is a woven band stitched to a black satin strip and white rick-rack sewn to it. That's how it comes, I didn't have to do that part. Once the metal is sewn in place, I'll be mounting it to another piece of black fabric which will have the tie straps.

I have no idea WHY Blogger and FB insist on putting this vertically when I processed it to be HORIZONTAL.
