Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Tape Measure
Measure around your head, using the tape measure, where you will wear the ribbon head band.
Step2
Cut the ribbon
Cut a piece of ribbon just two inches shorter than your head measurement.
Step3
Coat the ends of the ribbon with anti-fray solution to keep the ribbon from fraying.
Step4
Needle and thread
Attach the elastic to one end of the ribbon, overlapping about 1/2 inch. Use the needle and thread to sew the elastic to the ribbon. Tie strong knots to ensure it doesn't come lose.
Step5
Test the fit on your head. Make sure it will be snug but not to tight. Adjust the overlapping of the other side accordingly.
Step6
Sew the other end of the elastic to the free end of the ribbon.
Step7
Try on your new ribbon hair band ~ Voila! Now you can show your friends how to make ribbon hairbands of their own.
