DIY T-Shirt Scrap Headband

With soon to be 3 girls we use MANY headbands and i am all about saving money by doing them myself! Here is a super easy way with some old t shirts and fabric scraps!

Supplies

• 3 pieces of pink t-shirt cut to approximate 2” wide & 24” long
• 3 pieces of light grey t-shirt cut to approximately 2” wide & 24” long
• Additional t-shirt scraps in smaller pieces for creating flowers
• Needle & thread (and sewing machine if available)
• Scissors

Step 1

Sew or secure together with a knot the six strips of fabric.  Separate the strips into thirds, each strand containing a strip of each color.

Step 2

Using a simple braid, braid all pieces together.

Step 3

Braid until you’ve reached the end of the strands and sew ends together.

Step 4

Turn the headband inside out and sew the opposite ends together.

Step 5

Begin twisting & rolling a strip of fabric for the first flower.  Start a coil by and tacking it together with your needle and thread.  Continue to roll and twist into the coil, tacking it together until you’ve created a flower the size you desire.

Step 6

Repeat with additional sizes & colors of strips to create a desired number of flowers.

Step 7

Lastly, sew the flowers to the braided band with your needle and thread, making sure to secure well.
