Day 4- Braided Headband!

I got this crafty Idea from http://racheldenbow.blogspot.com/

Sometimes you feel stuck with your hair and just need something quick and different (okay, maybe new) and this headband is the perfect thing (it only takes about 20 minutes)!


What you need:

2- safety pins

6- strips of fabric about 18'' long (can add more strips depending how many bands you want)

1- 6'' piece of elastic

sewing machine




1. gather 3 strips of fabric.

3. braid together.

4. repeat steps 1-3 for remaining 3 strips of fabric.

5. lay both braids side by side with ends matching together.

6. straight stitch ends together.

7. snip excess fabric and repeat for the other end (braided bands should be about 15-16'' in length).

8. take your elastic and sew into one end of the braid and repeat on the other end.
