Celtic Knot Headband From T-Shirt

Headbands have been a big thing lately and I wanted to try my hand at making some headbands of my own. I had an old t-shirt that I was getting rid of so I thought it would be a great time to try this new project.

Supplies

You will need the following:

A T-shirt - Something you no longer use and are willing to cut up

Scissors - to cut the fabric

Thread

A sewing machine

Cut Fabric

Start by cutting 2 long strips of Fabric

I used two pieces of fabric about 3" by 24" .

An average head is 22-23" so the majority of people can get away with this measurement. If you know your head is abnormally large or small it might be beneficial to measure your head before starting.

Remember to have extra on hand though since some of the fabric will go toward the knot

Fold and Sew

1. Fold each piece in half along the long side (hot dog style). Make sure the wrong side of the fabric(the side you don't want to see at the end) is right sight up.

2. Sew all the way up the long side where the two ends meet.

3. When they are done you can turn the right side out. (to the side you want to see at the end)

Tie Celtic Knot

Use both pieces of fabric to tie a celtic knot with the two pieces of fabric.

This is a great headband. I plan to wear it to the gym and whenever I need something easy to keep my hair out of my eyes.

Enjoy!
