Today's project is super fast & comfy: a headband made from FOE. With all the cute prints and fun colors of FOE, it's cheap & easy to make some gorgeous headbands. You can make 'em small for a baby or size 'em up to wear yourself.
Here's how to make your own headbands under 5 minutes:
Measure head to get size and add 1.25 inches. With wrong sides together, stitch .25 inch from raw edges:
Then fold right sides together so the raw edges from the seam you just made are "enclosed" and then flatten against one side like this:
Stitch close to the edge of the fold just made:
Then stitch down .25 inch to the left of the seam just made so all the folds will lie flat:
Now the headband is ready to wear!
I liked using cute printed FOE, but you can do the same with the solids and then decorate them with bows, flowers or other embellishments by attaching them with a dab from a hot glue gun. Easy, comfy & bargain friendly!!
And they look super cute with matching FOE Cuddle Bug Legwarmers (as seen in yesterday's post).

ReplyDeleteI love your sweet little model's face. I guess she likes it :).
ReplyDeleteI have a headband that someone gave me that I think is made from FOE. It's so stretchy and soft that it fits my 3 year old daughter and me. Is all FOE like that or is it necessary to make a different size headband for each person?
