DIY Craft: No-sew Headband

Don’t know how to sew? No problem! Check out this super easy to make headband — no sewing necessary!

What you’ll need:

• 6 colorful strips of fabric (1 in x 24 in)
• 2 thin hair elastics
• 1 safety pin
• Hot glue gun (with adult supervision!)

Here’s how to do it:

• Take one hair elastic, loop it around the other and pull through to make a figure-8 shape.
• Using your safety pin, carefully secure three strips of fabric to something stable, such as a chair arm or floor carpet.
• Braid your strips until you reach the end of the fabric. Repeat this process one more time with the remaining three strips of fabric so you will have 2 braids.
• Next, carefully use a hot glue gun to glue the ends of the two braids around one of the loops in the figure-8 elastics.
• After it’s dry, make sure you try it on & figure out the best size for your head. Cut off the extra fabric, leaving a few inches to glue to the other end of the elastic. Repeat Step 4.
• Let the hot glue dry again & rock your new headband with your favorite outfit!

TIP: Glue some extra fabric flowers on the headband for some extra fabulousness!
