T-shirt Braid Headband
Cut a t-shirt (or fabric”> into three strips. The wider the strips, the thicker the headband. Knot the three strips together on one end. Secure that end to provide tension on one side then start braiding the other strands together. Once you reach the end, knot it and cut off the excess. Then attach a piece of elastic to both sides.
Yarn headband
This is a way to make a thick and colorful headband. I started off with a thin wire headband I got from Hobby Lobby, but you can use any headband you have. You can use an color of yarn that you want. Glue the beginning of the yarn string to one end tip of the headband. Start winding yarn around the wire headband, making sure you’re covering every part with yarn. The more the yarn overlaps, the thicker it becomes.
