  Step 1

  Get your materials!

• 

  Step 2

  Now we need to cut 2 pieces of the ribbon. How much is enough? Just enough to do the following: Fold over to cover the end of the ribbon, wrap around the sides.

• 

  Step 3

  Now wrap the trimming around your head (across the forehead) to see how much trimming you need to make one headband. For your references, my head measures about 21” and I used about 18” of the trimming.

  Cut 4 inches of the elastic.

  Now you have: 2 pieces of ribbon, 4” of elastic and 18” of trimming. You should burn the ends of the ribbon to prevent them from fraying!

• 

  Step 4

  Start sewing! Wrap one end of the trimming as shown and sew the top to secure the ribbon.

• 

  Step 5

  Now sew one end of the elastic to the same edge.

• 

  Step 6

  Wrap the ribbon around the sides (just like what you have done earlier to test the amount of ribbon required) and sew the bottom.

  Sew the top again!

• 

  Step 7

  Do the same for the other end of the trimming with the other end of the elastic!

  DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
