How to Make a Quick & Simple Braided Headband

Hair & Accessories· Jewelry

Need a quick idea for a summertime hairstyle? How about just adding a DIY braided headband to your current look?! This will take you all of 10 minutes to make, and it’s so fun to wear!

DIY-Braided-headband-Crafts-Unleashed-2Supplies needed to make your own DIY braided headband:

  • 1 Package Darice Accessory Loops (you can also make your own t-shirt yarn)
  • Brooch/Pendant or other jewelry embellishment with a pin backing (I used this Styled by Tori Spelling Coral Flower Pendant)
  • Scissors

Take three accessory loops and cut them in half so that you have 3 equal strands. If you’re using t-shirt yarn, just start off by cutting 3 pieces of yarn that are 3 feet long each.

Tie a loose knot at one end of the loops, leaving a 3-inch tail of loose strands. Braid the entire length of fabric. If you’re sitting down, hold the ends taut between your knees to make the braiding easier.

Mark that length. Tie a square knot with the fabric’s ends, making sure your knot ends up in the spot you just marked.

Trim off the excess fabric.
