DIY T-Shirt Scrap Headband

Step 1

Sew or secure together with a knot the six strips of fabric. Separate the strips into thirds, each strand containing a strip of each color.

Step 2

Using a simple braid, braid all pieces together.

Step 3

Braid until you’ve reached the end of the strands and sew ends together.

Step 4

Turn the headband inside out and sew the opposite ends together.

Step 5

Fold t-shirt strip in half lengthwise and gather the fabric onto a needle and thread. Once all fabric is gathered on, bunch the fabric together to create a ruffle like look. Begin coiling the fabric and tacking it to create a flower.

Step 6

Repeat with additional sizes & colors of strips to create a desired number of flowers.

Step 7

Lastly, sew the flowers to the braided band with your needle and thread, making sure to secure well.
