Things You'll Need:
- Measuring tape
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Sewing machine
-
Step 1
Measure your head (or the head of the person for whom you're making a headband) and cut your fabric this length. The width you cut your fabric depends on how wide you want your headband to be-an average width is about 4 inches.
-
Step 2
Fold your strip of fabric in half lengthwise with the wrong side out. Use straight pins to hold the fabric together evenly while you sew.
-
Step 3
Stitch the fabric together on your sewing machine. Backstitch your seam at the beginning and end for extra durability. You are now ready to cut elastic for your headband.
