DIY: Knit Headband


Perfect solution to keep your hair down when it's windy out and your ears warm during those chilly days!

Materials: knit beanie (Forever21 sells some great beanies for a great price), scissors, needle and thread, some ribbon or left over scraps of fabric, one safety pin

Directions:
1. cut horizontally at the top and bottom of beanie (save the scraps)
2. cut the circular strip and measure what is a comfortable size for your head
3. hem the bottom and top of beanie
4. sew up the two ends to make the long strip into a circular


Decorating your beanie:
There a number of ways you can decorate your beanie depending on your mood. All you need is those left over scraps of fabric.

Here are some ideas...
NOTE: To make a rounded flower just take a small strip of fabric and twist it in a circle. After you are done making your decorations, just put attach them with a safety pin so they can be easily removed!

Here are a few other ways you can wear your NEW knit headband!
