If you are like me, you love things for your hair. But they are so expensive! I keep seeing these circlets around, and I love them. So, I finally bought this one from Forever21 for 8 dollars.
As I inspected it upon my return home, I realized that it looks rather easy to make--and fun! Also, why not make it out of different fabrics? And add lace? Thus inspired, I set about creating my own headband

1
This works best with fabric with a small print, since the strips are a small width.
Turn your strips, right sides on the outside, and sew down the side with a straight stitch. We aren't going to flip them, the headband I made has a nice, scrappy look.
-
2
Press your tubes.
-
3
Sew all three tubes together. I put the two brown on bottom and the yellow on top.
-
4
Secure tubes to something that won't move if you pull on it. I used a pin and my ironing board.
-
5
Braid! Then sew the other end closed.
-
6
cut your ribbon into two four-inch pieces. fold the corners in, and press. Then fold the ribbon in half, and press.
-
7
secure the ends inside the ribbon, and pin. secure the elastic inside, pin. Try it on (be careful of the pins) to make sure it fits. If not, re-pin until it does, then and sew down both sides with a straight stitch.

Yay, a handmade scrappy circlet! Wear, enjoy, and share with your friends.
