Skimming Stones | Sula's Blog | Sula1968 A South African poet, potter and mother
This is one of those craft projects which is almost too easy. I don’t like horseshoe-shaped Alice bands, they always seem to pinch the sides of the head. An elastic headband is so much more comfortable to wear. I resent paying more than R30, which most cost in the shops. These work out a fraction of the price and can be made in minutes.
What you need.
30 cm decorative trim (40 cm for adult) – There are endless options at fabric shops
15 cm elastic (7 mm wide)
What you do
If using ribbon or a trim which can fray, zig-zag stitch the ends and fold to a triangular point, stitch in place
Stitch the elastic to the wrong side of the trim on each end
And that quite simply is that.
30cm of trim is suitable for roughly age 3 – 10. My little girl Acacia is 4 and it fits her well
Oh that’s pretty easy to make and gorgeous, my girls will love it, thanks 🙂
Would love to see pics when you do 🙂
My daughter will love these. I never thought of making them myself but it sounds easy enough.
Would love to hear what she thinks of it when you do 🙂
What a great idea!
Thank you 🙂
