Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve got the greatest Easy Headband Tutorial to share with you today:
A girl with long hair can never have too many headbands right? One to go with every outfit and that will help keep her hair out of her face on a windy or hot, sticky summer day. Especially a girl that keeps cutting chunks out of her hair. 😉 (You can see really notice our latest adventure with scissors in this pic.)

I made my missy a red bandanna headband to go with her red white and blue outfit for school. (They celebrated July 4th on June 4th this year.) She tried it on and loved it so much, she begged for a few more. What she loved about this headband style is that it can be scrunched up and worn skinny or spread it out and cover the whole front section of her hair. (Personally, I prefer the skinny look, but whatever floats her boat.
These little headbands are really easy to make and by the time I got to headband #5, I was whipping through the sewing and construction in a very short amount of time. (It was taking me just as long to hem the edges of the large piece than it was to assemble the rest of the headband!)
They are cute made with a woven cotton, but I really love them in a thinner fabric. (Like a chiffon.)
Ready to make a few headbands for yourself? Head over to page 2 for the full step by step tutorial!

I'm getting tired of seeing my daughter's hair in a ponytail. I am going to see if she wants to make one of these!
Pam Lauren says

I just made my first one – can't wait to see if it fits my daughter so I can make her ones to match her new skirts!

I was just able to whip up a patriotic one. Now I'm ready for my night shift at the hospital! Thanks!

I was just able to whip up a patriotic one. I'm ready now for my night shift at the hospital tonight! One pointer is when you sew the opposite side together, 'accordion' it so that it matches your first side. It will help lay flatter when wearing it smaller. Great quick and easy project! Thanks!

Good tip, thanks!

I just whipped up two of these! I never like how headbands fit or look on me, but these are great! Thanks for the tutorial.

So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Jamie says
Darn, that is a typo, I’ll have to take a closer look and figure out what the measurements were supposed to be.

I cut the big piece on the bias (plaid fabric) for a different look as well as more stretch.

Any hints on sizing to make for an adult sized head? These would be perfect on summer days! Why do the kids get all the good stuff?
