Make Nylon Headbands for Children
Nylon headbands are trendy, but they can be expensive if you purchase them at a department store. Save money by making homemade nylon headbands for your kids. By making them yourself, you also can create a custom design to suit your child's personality.
Instructions
1. Measure the part of the head where you want your band to sit. If you do not have a bendable measuring tape, you can use a piece of string or ribbon and then measure it against a yard stick.
2. Cut a piece of nylon 3 inches wide and the length of your child's head measurement minus 2 inches.
3. Fold right sides together lengthwise and sew along the length with a small zig-zag stitch in a close stitch length. This will allow your fabric to maintain its stretch ability while closing up the seam securely. Use a ½-inch seam allowance and then trim close to seam when finished. Turn right side out.
4. Sew the two fronts together and treat the seam as the back of the band. Hand stitch the back of the seams closed. Decorate as desired.
