Headwrap DIY















I recently added Headwraps to my Etsy Shop! I am really excited about these, and they are super easy to make! I am going to walk you through it step by step, and I promise to add pictures of the steps soon!




You will need:

2 Yards of your favorite cotton fabric (or 1 yard if you don't mind a seam in the middle)
Scissors
Sewing Machine (I used my serger, but a regular machine will do just fine!)
Iron




1. Cut your fabric to size (see chart below)
2. Fold your fabric in half "hot dog style" (lengthwise) with the right sides together
3. Sew a seam down the long side, stopping in the middle to leave a 1.5" opening un-sewn (you will see why later)
4.  On the ends sew diagonally (see diagram) and trim off excess
5. Now remember that hole you left open? Use that to turn the whole thing inside out. I use a fancy "finger" thing I bought at Home Depot for the job, works great!If not, you can use a saftey pin by pinning it to the end and "pushing" it through inverting the whole thing. This is really hard t describe so I hope that makes sense.
6. Now that you have it right side out go ahead and use a straight stitch to close that hole up! I tuck the ends in so that it looks nice and neat.
7. Iron your head wrap so that its nice and smooth.
8. Tie it on your head and call it a day! Super easy huh?





Let me know what you think, and post links to your creations!
