Nylons are inexpensive and easy to stretch.
Baby girls are sometimes born with little to no hair. Although you may dress her in pink to signify she's a girl, you can also place a soft headband with a bow on her head. Store-bought headbands can be expensive and cover a majority of the baby's head. Keep what little hair she does have exposed and cut the cost in half by creating your own headbands with knee-high nylons. This method requires no sewing and allows you to create a number of headbands with your choice of bows or other accents.
Instructions
1. Place the knee-high on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
2. Cut the knee-high just above the heel and just under the seam for the panty line. Discard the leftover fabric. You now have one long nylon strip.
3. Measure 2 inches upward from the bottom cut line and cut across the knee-high. Measure 2 inches upward from the new cut line and cut again. Repeat the process until you have no more fabric to cut. You're left with a selection of 2-inch nylon squares.
4. Hold one 2-inch square and insert your two index fingers inside the fabric. Pull outward to stretch it until it coils up into a thin headband. Stretch to your preference.
5. Heat the glue gun. To keep the headband in a rolled formation, place a small dab of glue on the interior of the headband. This will keep the headband coiled into a thin band. Place another small dab of glue on the exterior of the band and press a bow or small silk flower onto the glue.
