They're super soft, and don't leave marks like elastic styles. Made from jersey fabric, these are a washable, every-day accessory. - You can buy jersey fabric or re-use a mildly used T-shirt for this project! - Always iron fabric to ensure it lays flat when sewing. - Measure your child's head to adjust the size of the headband. Just add 1.5" to the measured length to leave room for sewing. - For an adult version, I recommend 8"w x 24"l.

  2. Small 113340 2f2016 02 08 194346 dsc09606

    Lay the pieces over each other, forming a cross.

    Fold each piece in half, lengthwise.

  4. Small 113340 2f2016 02 08 194432 dsc09608

    Fold bottom piece in half, width-wise.

  5. Small 113340 2f2016 02 08 194444 dsc09609

    Turn the top piece to meet the end, width-wise.
