  • Don't throw away your knit scraps!! When you've finished that skirt, or dress, or shirt, or bag.... keep the scraps! You can turn them into these ADORABLE headbands in just a couple minutes.
    I like to cut my fabric strips at 4-5" wide by 20" long, but test out those measurements on yourself and see what you like best!
    You'll also need polyester thread, ball point needles, and a safety pin. Washi or masking tape is also helpful when making the hooked version.
    Let me know if you have any additional questions when making these!
    Time stamps for each step in the first comment!

    These are so cute! I have to share this with my daughter, but she'll probably want me to make these for her and her daughters. You look great in headbands but you'd probably look good in anything you put on your head! You could probably shave your head and look good. I have a big round head. Thanks for the video!

    • @OklaRoots
      @OklaRoots  Před 4 lety +3

      I use lycra for these, since they need some stretch and I'm not adding any sort of elastic to them. Very easy this way!

  • @zenaidabelbis6571
    @zenaidabelbis6571 Před 4 lety

    I use the regular head band that one wears like a crown . If i use a handband with elastic or cloth that is strechable, it slips out of my head. I think the shape of my skull is a problem. The strap suppose to stay above my nape kept on pulling up.

    P.s. Your tutorial for your favorite tote bag was my first sewing project. I watched countless videos until I found yours... I fell in LOVE and have made sew(hahaa) many!! I can't wait to try the headband! Take care!!

    • @OklaRoots
      @OklaRoots  Před 4 lety

      That's awesome Leighla! You can definitely give it a shot with cotton and elastic, it may just not have much of a stretch to it. Any sort of fabric with stretch is going to be most comfortable.
