You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Material , Measuring Tape Or Ruler, Sewing Machine, Glue, Chopstick/Pliers (Or Something Alike), Needle And Thread

Steps (5 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    Purchase or dig through some fabric you wish to cover your headband with; I chose barbie pink satin.
    Measure enough fabric to go around the headband.
    *the longer the fabric the more scrunched your headband will be.
    *measure a little extra height to make sure it will fit around your headband.

  2. 2

    Once fabric is cut like a long rectangle, fold in half hot dog style and pin all the way down.
    *only pin one end of the material.
    *Make sure the material is INSIDE OUT when you sew it.

  3. 3

    Sew it up, leaving one end open so you can slip the headband through.

  4. 4

    using something long such as a chopstick, turn the material inside out so the correct side is visible. To make it easier, use pliers to help.

  5. 5

    Slip the material over the headband and scrunch it up. Glue the end to the headband to hold in place. Hand sew the other end closed and voila!
