Cute and Sassy Headband Tutorial!! (Great for all hair lengths!)

This is really easy to make and there was absolutely NO sewing involved!

I like this headband because it has a wire running through it. That makes it adjustable and it will stay on your head all day!
Here's how it's done!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED (more or less):

- one fourth of a yard of fabric (the softer the better)
- one yard of coated wire (the wire should be able to bend and hold its shape)
- ruler 
-scissors
- fabric glue (because I cant really sew)
*pins are optional

LETS DO THIS:
Step one:

Fold your fabric in half. Hot dog style :)

Step two:
Iron the bottom edge. This is kinda sorta optional but I think it helps! (AlsoOoo, if you don't have an iron use a hair straightener... thats what I did!)

Step three:
Unfold the fabric so the patterned side is face up! Measure about 2 cm from the edge and make a line of fabric glue all along that edge. 

Step four:

Fold the fabric in half! Go do something else for 10 minutes while it dries. 

Step five:

 Scrunchhh the fabric up using your finger. 


 When you get to the other end of the fabric pull it through....

Now, you should have a seam.... and you didn't even have to pick up a needle. 

Step six:

Take the wire and straighten it out!

The wire is going to run along the seam! BUT NOT YET!

choose one side of the seam then measure about 1 1/2 cm from the edge of the fabric. Then make another line of glue.
Then stick the two sides together! Creating another seam!

Step seven:

When its dry, find the hole in between the two seams!
Then...

Run the wire through!

It should look something like this when the wire is inside of it.

Step eight:

Trim off the extra fabric on the end but leave about an inch on each side.

Step nine:

Glue the edges together on both ends of the fabric.


AND YOU NOW HAVE A HEAD BAND!


Yay!



I like to put in on my head and then twist/scrunch the ends together to make a flowery thingy!

  1. very cute. just what I'm looking to make since stretch headbands always wind up popping off the back of my head.

    Where do you get coated wire? I looked at floral stems but they weren't long enough.
