5 Min. Braided Headband Tutorial

These easy (and quick!) braided headbands are perfect for summer!

Great for girls and adults :)

Use them to hold back bangs or spice up a simple do

They are so fun and simple that you will be making them by the dozens in no time

Supplies:
Scrap fabric
Elastic (I used 1/2 width)
Sewing Machine

Step 1:
Cut 3 strips of fabric 20 inches long and 1 piece of elastic 4 inches long.

Step 2:
Place the three fabric strips ontop of each other and place the piece of elastic in between the layers (you can pin in place but I just held it in place with my finger).

Step 3:

Sew the fabric strips (with piece of elastic inside) together to secure. I suggest going over the elastic part a few times to make sure it won't come loose.

Step 4:

Braid the fabric strips together until you reach the end

Step 5:

Grab the loose end of the elastic and tuck into the end of the briaded strips (between two of the layers) making sure the braid is not twisted.

Step 6:

Sew to secure (again I just held it in place).

Step 7:

Trim the extra fabric from the side you just sew so it looks nice and pretty.

See, nice and pretty.

Step 8:

Go back to the other side of the headband where you started the braid from. See how it looks, well, not so nice and pretty?

Wrap the extra fabric around the sides of the headband to the back and sew to secure.

Much better!

Yeah! You're you done! Now wasn't that easy!

Try it on and admire your work!
