This fabric is machine-washable, so if your headband starts to look dingy, toss it in the laundry.
Tools and Materials
1/8 yard of fabric
Erasable fabric marker
Button
Needle and thread
Headband How-To
1. Fold fabric in half; place widest part of pattern at the fold and trace with marking pen. With a ruler and the marker, extend the straight lines at the bottom of the pattern 14 inches down from fold. "These curves require a little more cutting precision than the sash-that's why you want to trace it," Katie says.
2. Cut along the line. Wrap the band around your head, centered, to find the center back on one end; sew a button there.
3. Wrap band around your head again, and pinch the plain end over the button. In that spot, cut a small slit, then snip it incrementally larger just until you can slip the button through.
it's really cute!! I love headband. especially if it doesn't give me a headache like most of them do. But the one like this, doesn't give me a headache.
The problem is, this website doesn't seems to have good photos. I want to see few more photos to show how to do it. A lot of time, it has really bad end photos on the site which helps nobody

The photo does nothing to illustrate the end product.
AWESOME suggestion, linuxgrl! This is a really nice, easy craft project for older teen girls...something they can use! Love it...
you can use dots of puffy fabric paint for traction. It really helps the headband stay put :D
I wonder if you could use other fabrics maybe include a backing of some sort.
