My next pinterest find is this pin.
This is such a cute headband that anyone could pull off! I made one and I love the way that it turned out.
It was so easy to make- there is only 2 things that you need! That's it.
So with that said lets see how its done-
1. Old T-shirt- something that is sitting in the bottom of your dresser that you haven't worn in years. **The type of fabric does make a difference! I think my shirt was 50% cotton 50% polyester. It was a great material.
2. Scissors- you just got to be able to cut the shirt.
(sorry the pictures are a little small)
1. You first are going to want to start off by cutting your shirt right beneath the sleeves- or the design in my case. Just make a cut all the way across until you reach the other side.
2. Now cut the part that you just cut from the shirt into 2 equal strips. **Don't make these too big, around an inch is a good size.
3. Just keep cutting.
4. Now you are going to want to pull the two strips out until the sides begin to roll into each other. It doesn't matter how long you pull for- just make sure that its two strips.
5. To start making your knot- take one of your strips and make it into the shape of a ribbon (see picture above)
6. Next, take your second strip and put in on top of your ribbon form. Make that strip like a "u" of a smiley face. Take the right end of the second strip and put it BEHIND the right leg of the ribbon. Then take the left side of the u and put it behind the hole of the ribbon.
7. This next step is a little hard t explain- bare with me. Take the right side of the u- still behind the right leg of the ribbon- and take it over the right side of the ribbon top, under the part of the u that's behind the ribbon take and back over the other side of the ribbon. (hopefully that made sense- I'll make a video soon)
8. Now all you have to do is pull all of the sides (4 of them) outwards. Do this until the knot looks the way that you want it to- some people like the knot to be looser- others tighter. And that's basically it! The only thing left to do is to tie it off. I did this by taking another piece of the t-shirt and putting it through all of the holes in the headband ends. Then I just tie it into a bow and cut off all of the excess. And that's it!

A cute headband that I love to wear! It looks great in a messy bun- or however you like to wear your hair!
