the DIY: NO SEW TURBAN HEADBAND FROM A T-SHIRT

IMG_2708
The title of this post is upsetting to me but, I wanted to describe this tutorial very well. Sometimes I'm super generic- today... I'm very specific. Anyways I'm going to show you how to make yourself a turban headband out of a t-shirt A.K.A. how to make a super cheap turban headband. Go get yourself a t-shirt for $.99 at Goodwill and you're good to go! I used a size XL.

Here's what you do...
Photobucket
You are going to cut two strips out of the t-shirt. I cut mine 3 inches wide. Make sure you cut straight across, from one side to another.
Photobucket
You should have two continuous strips.
Photobucket
Cross one strip over top the other one.
Photobucket
Take the right side of the bottom strip and cross it over to the left side.
Photobucket
Take the bottom part of the other piece and cross it upwards to the top.
Photobucket
Pull the two ends apart from each other and there should be 2 layers on each side.
Photobucket
Put your hand through the bottom piece and grab the top piece.
Photobucket
Pull the top piece inside of the bottom piece. Repeat on the other side as well.
Photobucket
Fold the left side over to the right side.
PhotobucketPhotobucket
Repeat the same process as before- pull the top piece inside the bottom piece.
PhotobucketPhotobucket
Straighten the pieces up. There will be a knotted-ness in the middle of the headband.
Photobucket
Open up the headband and you are finished!
Photobucket
There will be four layers going around your head and they should all be on top of each other. Are you confused yet?

Put it on your head and adjust it accordingly. When you get it situated you may want to tack it into place but it is totally not necessary. If you are careful when you put the turban headband on and take it off, you will be AOK. If it comes undone, you can always redo the tutorial.

If you feel this is too complicated, you could always head over to our Etsy shop and grab a "fancier" one. :)

  4. This is so random but I just found this blog today and have been scrolling through it endlessly because I love it. So when I saw this post and saw the shirt my jaw hit the floor because I work in Owosso where the shirt is from. Small world.

  5. this is so awesome. im a dude and i sweat a lot.....so i was looking for some headbands and i was getting sick of the looks i got. i do have some athletic ones but i didn't want to look like i just rolled out from a b ball court! well, this is so amazingly economic and simple. the fact that i have tons of old t shirts i don't wear anymore is an added bonus for me to get creative. anyways, thanks a bunch and keep it up - just wanted to represent any dudes out there reading your posts ^_^
