My hair is a mess these days. I mean, who even has time for that? You ladies with kiddos with perfectly tamed locks... WHO ARE YOU?! My solution for keeping my hair in check is this easy turban headband. I give my hair a quick brushing (if Im lucky) and slip this on over top of my mane. Easy peasy! Here's how to make your own.
You'll need:
A strip of jersey fabric, approx. 36" long (a little longer couldn't hurt)
Scissors
Thread
First begin with cutting a long strip of your jersey fabric. I cut mine about 36 inches long and 6 inches wide. I used a thicker fabric but if you use a thinner fabric you could make the fabric wider so you have a nice knot in the finished turban.
Fold your fabric in half with the right sides together to form a loop. Using a zig-zag stitch, sew the seam together. Now you have a large loop!
Lay your loop out and cross in the middle to form a figure 8.
Twist the loop two more times. The twist will become the knot in the turban headband.
Bring the two loops together. You now have your finished headband!
I made a matching one for Audrey but she wasn't interested. She took it off roughly .002 seconds after I put it on.
So I forced Margaret to wear it instead.
Awww, Margaret = adorable!! Love the turban x

ReplyDeleteI too am desperate to know how the hell those mums with the perfect hair have perfect hair. I also want to know why there are mums at my playgroup that aren't covered in play dough. I am always covered in play dough. Always.
