DIY Upcycled T-shirt Headbands

Diy Upcycled T-shit Headbands 
If you are anything like me you are probably guilty of holding onto old or tattered items a little past their wear, or maybe you just have a big pile of clothes that no longer fit, Or maybe you just have hoards of scrap clothing from previous DIY's - I am guilty of ALL of these. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing a few different tutorials on great ways to re-use those old shirts/clothing items & thought I would start of with something simple like headbands, that everyone could do & find useful.

DIY Upcycled T-shirt Headbands By: Upcy

Supplies:

  • recycled clothing
  • sewing machine/needle & thread/ hot glue gun (whatever you have/feel most confident using)

How To:

I have shared pictures of a few of the different styles I created while playing around with this idea & the clothes/fabrics I had on hand (a turquoise zip-up sweater a pink shirt, purple & white tank tops, & some left over black cotton-jersey from a previous DIY) But they are all created using essentially the same concept - just with some different embellishments


Turquoise, & White Just cut a strip to the desired width & length, create the flower/bow, and then sew/hot glue together. 
The Wee White one on the end is probably my favourite of all, though it is not for me, it was made for a friend of mine who is expecting a little girl quite soon!

Black - This is literally just a really long length of fabric (about twice the size of the average headband) that can be wrapped/styled a variety of different ways! 

Purple - take two lengths of your cut-up fabric, cross in the middle & attach at the back.

Pink - Cut three thinner strips of fabric & and braid them together. 
Cut a small square of the same fabric and use this to secure the back. 

     Like I mentioned before, this is the first of many tutorials to come on How To
           re-purpose/use old clothing & fabric ...so don't get rid of those scraps ;)
Thank you for browsing & remember to always
