Choose the fabric you want to use for this project. A three-foot-by-three foot square of fabric should be plenty. It can be cotton, nylon, plain or patterned.

Measure your head from your forehead to the back of your neck where it meets the shoulders. Then measure from ear to ear, going over the top of your head to do this. Take these two measurements and mark them on the fabric that you have chosen. This should make a rectangle. Mark out another strip of material that is three inches wide and three feet long.
