Today I really felt like being crafty and making something fun but I didn’t feel like going to the store. I decided to look around the house and see what we had on hand that I could use. I settled on making this cute little headband out of an old T-shirt. Do you like it? These are the steps I used to make it.
What you’ll need:
- An old T-shirt
- Scissors
- A needle and thread
Instructions:
First lay out a clean T-shirt. Cut two strips from around the waist and use your hands to stretch them out a bit. Weave the pieces together as shown in pictures 4-6. Then pull the strands tight like picture 7. Cut a small piece of extra fabric from the T-shirt and use your needle and thread to secure the ends of the headband with the extra piece of fabric. Because the the knit fabric of the T-shirt is stretchy it should be able to slip over your head easily and stay in place securely.
And here is the finished product! I’m really liking the braided knot accent, simple and unique.
What do you think? What type of outfit would you wear a headband like this with?
That’s adorable! I normally don’t like headbands because they give me headaches, but that looks soft and comfortable, and it’s so pretty and easy! I have some t-shirts that I’m thinking of getting rid of soon…I’ll have to make a couple of these! Thanks for the idea! You are SO beautiful, by the way.
