Elastic Headband Tutorial
A little girl just has to have some pretty hair accessories, and since Olivia doesn't have much hair yet headbands are the perfect solution :)I decided to make some simple soft headbands from elastic so they will be easy for her to wear and not too big and extravagant that they take away from her big blue eyes and chubby cheeks.To make a headband you will need just a few basic supplies- Elastic (Search for Fold Over Elastic on Etsy and there are lots of suppliers)- Hot Glue Gun- Tape Measure- Scissors
Here's a guide on how long to cut your elastic - but always best to measure the childs head first.Newborn: 13" (33cm)3-6 months: 14 ½" (37 cm)6-12 months: 16" (40 ½ cm)12 - 24 months: 17 ½" (44 ½ cm)
Put a small dot of glue on one end and glue down the other end to create the headband. 
Cut 3 more pieces of elastic in a contrasting colour or the same colour- 5" (glue the ends together to create a circle)- 3" (Cut a triangle out of each end)- 2"
Glue the 5" Circle and the 3" strip together to create the bow
Glue to the headband on top of the join. 
Wrap the 2" strip around the middle of the bow and glue both ends underneath. 
The Final Product - a cute bow headband for a stylish little girl.
Have fun creating as many colour combinations as you want!
