Make a bunch of headbands from a single roll of ribbon.
Headbands with big bows are an adorable baby hair accessory that you can put on your bundle of joy for a special event, a photo opportunity or just for daily wear. The headbands are easy to make and are made from soft satin ribbon for comfortable wear. Pick up some discounted ribbon and satin bows when you find them on sale and make a variety of headbands to fit your baby throughout her first year.
Instructions
1. Measure the circumference of the baby's head from the top of her forehead, behind her ears and just above the nape of her neck. Subtract about 1/2 an inch from this measurement.
2. Cut a piece of 1/2-inch-wide stretch ribbon trim to the final measurement above.
3. Pin the ends of the ribbon together, with the ends overlapping by about 1/4 of an inch. Sew a straight stitch to join the ends together and then sew over the same stitches a few times for extra strength.
4. Pin the large satin bow over top of the seam line.
5. Sew the bow to the headband. Add an extra row of stitches for extra strength.
