  • How to make a fabric headband. Satin Headband - Step 1
    Step 1

    Purchase or dig through some fabric you wish to cover your headband with; I chose barbie pink satin.
    Measure enough fabric to go around the headband.
    *the longer the fabric the more scrunched your headband will be.
    *measure a little extra height to make sure it will fit around your headband.

    Once fabric is cut like a long rectangle, fold in half hot dog style and pin all the way down.
    *only pin one end of the material.
    *Make sure the material is INSIDE OUT when you sew it.
