• Step 1

  1. Cut three strips about an inch wide out of an old t-shirt. The strips should be about 12 inches long, but it depends on the size of your head.

• Step 2

  2. Stretch each strip so that the material curls a bit.

• Step 3

  3. Stitch all three strips together at one end to keep them together.

• Step 4

  4. Use tape to anchor the strips to a table, then braid them together.

• Step 5

  5. After you braid the strips together, measure them around you head to see how big it needs to be. You will add a little elastic so it will stretch, plus the material stretches a bit, so go a little smaller than you think it needs to be.

• Step 6

  6. Sew a small bit of elastic to each end of the braid. I usually use three or four inches of elastic. Make sure you sew it well so that it does not come undone. A bit of fabric glue can help to make it sturdier as well.

• Step 7

  7. Add buttons, beads or flowers to decorate your new headband!
