Got T-shirts? Make headbands!

I saw this genius idea on Make it and Love it to make headbands out of old t-shirts! So, get excited, I made some of my own! I love them :)

Obviously, the yellow one is just a simple braid - love it, it's super fast and nice and thin. I love the thicker ones too though! The thick one is 5 strands and I would describe it like weaving a braid. Here's the 5 strand braid/weave in 5 SIMPLE steps! (I used a clipboard to help keep it in place)

Tada! Continue that pattern and you'll be good to go! 

One hint while connecting the two piece together to make the headband, feel free to use hot glue for all parts except where the two ends meet up. I have found that stitching it together really helps it not break! Once you have the ends stitched up, grab a small piece of fabric leftover and wrap around the ends to make it looks pretty. I'm thinking I probably need to make some more headbands - one t-shirt can go a pretty long ways!

Update: check out my "knotted" headbands also made from t-shirts!!
