I made this very quickly, so it could have been finished a bit better. I hope you like it! And just to let you know, the thing in the first picture which look a bit like pliers is actually my single hole punch.

Description

I made this very quickly, so it could have been finished a bit better. I hope you like it! And just to let you know, the thing in the first picture which look a bit like pliers is actually my single hole punch.

Instructions

  1. Small p1020361 1254158538

    Firts of all gather your materials! (I didn't really know the proper name of what I call hole punch stickers, but I think you will know what I mean when you see them. They are in the yellow box.)

  2. Small p1020339 1254158839

    Cut a length of tape measure which fits over your head from ear to ear. (The place where a normal hair band would sit.)

  3. Small p1020343 1254241393

    At each end, punch a hole at least half a centimeter away, otherwise it will break.

  4. Small p1020356 1254241635

    Cover each hole with a hole punch sticker. These make it stronger.

  5. Small p1020348 1254241785

    Next, measure a length of elastic which is long enough to connect the tape measure around your head. Then double it, and add an inch to allow it to be tied.

  6. Small p1020349 1254242052

    Then thread one end of the elastic through one hole from the outside - in. Repeat this on the other side...

  7. Small p1020350 1254242163

    ... so it looks like this.

  8. Small p1020352 1254242260

    Pull each end through...

  9. Small p1020357 1254242370

    ...and tie up, making sure it fits snuggly around your head.

    And there you (should) have your cool new headband. If you have any questions, or I have made no sense, please just say!
