I recently ran across this tutorial for a braided headband.
Not only are these super cute, but they are also really fun to make! Even my 8 year old joined in the fun!
The best part is we didn't have to buy any of the supplies that were needed!
All you need is a t-shirt (you can re-purpose an old one), a pair of scissors, measuring tape/ruler, thread, and sewing needle.
We made a variety of headbands, some 3-stranded and some 4-stranded, of various colors and thickness.
Although I didn't like the way they looked on myself, I thought they looked great on my daughters.
We also made some as gifts, perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
I followed the steps in the tutorial almost exactly, except that I used strips that measured 3/4 inch wide for 4-stranded thicker headbands, and 1/2 inch for 3-stranded thinner headbands.
Happy Braiding!
