After buying a few no-slip ribbon headbands at a running expo and loving them, I was inspired to make my own.
Here’s How:
Supplies:
Grosgrain Ribbon
Velvet Ribbon
Thin Elastic
How To:
Cut a 16 inch piece of both the grosgrain and velvet ribbon. Cut a 6 inch piece of elastic.
Fold the grosgrain ribbon down about 1/2 inch on each side and stitch into place.

Great tutorial!! 🙂 I love headbands. These could easily be tailored for the younger crowd too. 🙂

I was just thinking last night that I need to make some headbands for my self while my hair grows out of the akward ‘in between’ long and short stage. Great tutorial, thanks!
Those are so super cute on you!!! I wish I could wear headbands. I have too much hair and they just get covered up. They are precious on you!
These are great! Thanks!
Love this and so would Lexi. Gotta try to make a smaller one for her. She is a girlie girl and loves pretty things in her hair.
I found a similar project earlier in the year…and can’t re-find it!! Alas.. you rescued me!! my little girl and I hope to make them this summer!! fun and fairly easy!! =)
so simple and pretty! Now following and looking forward to seeing more great projects
Thank you for the tutorial, they are simple yet so pretty and stylish. Going to make some for my older daughters, they will love them.

I love this. Thanks for making it simple enough for a newbie like me.
Just this afternoon I was thinking of making some headbands to wear. I was going to make it just as you described. I didn’t think about using velvet ribbon. Great tip!
I finished a couple of headbands! Thanks again for the tutorial!

My daughter will love this. Great for dance classes!
Very cute idea! I wish my sewing skills were better. 😉 This would be great project for me to do for my daughter. Her head is so teeny that store bought bands slide right off!
What a fantastic tutorial. This is a headband I could wear! The plastic ones hurt my head!
Great tutorial! I need to make some of these with my girls ~ super cute!
Aren’t you just so cute?! Love that headband… and pink too! xoox
Velvet ribbon!! I never would have thought of that! Great tutorial…
