What you will need:
- Three strands of fabric/chain/ribbon/thread/elastic (I chose a red ribbon, gold necklace chain, and red suede cord)
- A hair elastic (preferably black or something that matches your hair colour closely)
- Scissors
How to make it:
- First, make sure you have enough material to wrap around your head snugly, with a little bit of wiggle room for tying the knots on each end.
- Tie the strands together at one end, attaching them to the hair elastic. Pull tight!
- Braid the strands together, making sure to keep the design as even as possible...unless you're going for that messy braid look.
- When there is a long enough braid to wrap around your head, tie the loose end to the other side of the hair elastic. Pull tight and then snip off the excess material.
- Try it on and voilĂ ! You have made your very own braided headband.
I have tried this design with several types of material to see the different effects...it's fun and I find it works best when you have slightly thicker strands, rather than thin rope or threads.
Hope it turns out!
