What youll need to make your Satin Headband DIY:

  • 1 Yard plus 3 or 4 inches of 2” satin ribbon

Satin Headband DIY Supplies

Step 1
Cut your ribbon. Youll need to cut 2 pieces about 13 inches each and use the remaining amount at least about 13 inches, to make a tube for the elastic.

Step 2
Take your piece thats about 13 inches and fold it in half lengthwise. Using your sewing machine sew a seam, as close to the open edge as possible.

Step 3
Turn the piece of ribbon you just sewed right side out.DIY Satin Headband

Step 4
Take your elastic and cut it to 10 inches. Be sure to measure your head, all measurements are for my head and you will want your satin headband to fit a bit snug.

Step 5
Place a safety pin on each end of your cut elastic band and feed it through your satin ribbon tube. Putting a safety pin on both ends will keep your elastic from pulling all the way through.How to Make a Satin Headband DIY

Step 6
Take your 2 pieces of ribbon that you cut 13 inches and place one on either side of your satin tube with the elastic inside. I made 2 small pleats on each side of the ribbons as I pinned them to the tube with the elastic, be sure to pull your elastic and leave about a half inch extra above where you will make your seam. You will do this for both sides.
Sew across your ends and trim any loose threads and your extra elastic.Satin Headband DIY Tutorial
