  Step 1

  First thing to do of course is gather your material.

  From your main fabric cut
  - 2-16 in x 3 in pieces (top piece)
  - 2-8in x 2in pieces(Elastic Casing)

  Cut an elastic piece 4 1/2 inches
  From lace cut one piece slightly smaller than the 16 in x 3 in piece.

• 

  Step 2

  Attach the lace (or whatever embellishments you have) to the top piece before you go any further. Be creative and inventive...its your project. I used a zig-zag stitch to secure it properly.

• 

  Step 3

  Put the other top piece on top of the recently embellished piece (right sides together) and sew up ONE side.

• 

  Step 4

  Open the top piece and fold under the shorter ends and hem (both) See picture.

  Close, and sew up the other long side.

  Turn right side out.

  Step 5

  (Yes I do have Tinker Bell stickers all over my sewing machine (: lol)

  Take the elastic casing pieces and sew up ONE side (right sides together).

• Step 6

  The next part I completely forgot to take pictures, I was in the zone.

  Switch to zig-zag stitch, open the fabric, place the elastic in the middle of one of the sides you just put together (NOT ON THE SEAM) and sew in place.

  Event though it is for the waistband its still the same basic principle.

• 

  Step 7

  Put right sides back together and sew up the other side.

  Turn right side out.

  Insert one end of the casing into the open end of the top piece and sew closed. Repeat for other side.

• 

  Step 8

  Your done....and ready to wear your new headband.
