Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

White stretchy lace (1 to 2 yards)

Homemade Stretchy Baby Headbands

Step 1

Place stretchy ribbon around your babies head for measure. Remove ribbon, cut where it will be sewn into a headband.
Step 2

Three loops of two ribbon colors together

Now, take both colors of ribbon you want to use, loop together, without cutting from spool. Do at least three to four loops.
Step 3

After loops are the length you want, cut from spool and sew ribbon together in the middle. Do not use hot glue yet.
Step 4

With ribbons sewn together, place over headband where it was sewn together and using a long and thick sewing needle, sew onto headband.
Step 5

Once sewn onto white headband, cut about an inch of ribbon, color of your choosing, wrap around ribbon, where it was sewn onto headband. Now, use hot glue gun to make sure it is secure.
Step 6

Finally, using hot glue gun, place little white ribbon in middle of headband ribbon to complete the look. When headband is completed, you can twist each piece of ribbon like I did for effect.
