| My strips are 2.5" x 45" across |
I saw this cute Barbie licensed fabric on the internet one night and thought some headbands would make cute party favors. I ordered a yard of fabric from amazon.
1. Cut 2.5" strips across fabric from selvage to selvage.
2. Sew 2 pieces together on wrong side, fronts facing. Make seams 1/4.
Option: You could cut 1 strip of 5" x 45" instead of two 2.5" x 45", fold it in half and only make one seam.

| Turning tool attaches to inside of tube and helps push fabric inside out. |
3. Iron the seams open. Then, iron the tubes so that the fabric is flat, with seams on edge.
 |
| Opening the seams with iron makes it easier to iron it flat. |

4. Cut tubes into three 14" strips. Cut elastic in 6"- 6.5" strips. (I used 6" of fairly tight elastic for my group of 7 year old girls. I'd make it a tad longer for older girls).
