easy headband tutorial.

I made some headbands for {cousin} Emma's birthday a couple weeks ago & they turned out so great I wanted to share.

I bought the cheap ones for $1.99 a pack,

because they're lightweight

& don't hurt behind the ears.

Cut off the woven covers.

so if your headband is 13" x 1/4"

you'd cut your fabric 15" x 1 1/4".

Don't judge my manicure.

just a couple straight stitches back and forth will do.

{I will show you the ruffle in a second}

and that's it!

Here's how you do the ruffle:

I made the bow by sewing the strip for the headband

about 3" longer than needed and used the extra length

to fold into a bow. I used another piece of the strip

to wrap around the bow & hot-glued it onto the headband.

So quick and easy.

ps. I'm trying to cut down on sugar.

I'm cranky.

Totally headband unrelated,

but relevant none-the-less.
