DIY Fabric Headband


Recently my friend asked me to make her daughter a fabric headband to match a skirt I made her.  I tried to find tutorials that showed an all fabric and elastic headband but I didn't have any luck so I decided to make my own tutorial.

To make your own fabric headband you'll need:
  1. 3/8 yard of cotton fabric
  2. cloth measuring tape
  3. 1/2" inch wide elastic
  4. a cutting mat
  5. an acrylic ruler
  6. a rotary cutter or fabric shears
  7. craft scissors
  8. sewing pins
  9. coordinating thread
  10. a sewing machine
Pattern Instructions:
  • Length measurement = circumference of head + 8.5" inches
  • Width measurement = 1.5" inches wide
To watch how I made the headband, click the YouTube video below:


Happy Sewing!!!!


Love,

Ashley

1. Lego Lunch Box or a tin/plastic lunch box with a smooth surface on the inside.

2. Measuring Tape

3. Scissors

4. Lego Tape


5. Glue: Gorilla Glue or E6000
