These headbands look store-bought but are surprisingly simple to make! The design features a small twisted knot at the front, a neat interior finish, and elastic at the back for a flexible, comfortable fit.
The stretchy knit fabric makes the headband soft to wear and means you don’t need to worry about fraying edges – no extra finishing required.
