Here’s a quick and easy way to recycle t-shirts into DIY headbands. I love the stretchiness and the way they hold my hair in place. Anything to contain the curls… Also, these do not hurt my head! Bonus!!
I used an old tank top. This one is pretty thin and very stretchy.
Recycled Tank Top for DIY Headband
Cut two strips that measure approximately 4″ x 20″.
2 Strips 4″ x 20″ approx.
Sew each strip into a tube and turn right side out.
2 Tubes
Lay the tubes crossing each other in an X.
Make a loop with each tube having all four ends together. Sew across the ends making sure to catch all of them. Trim close to your seam.
Tubes Forming 2 Loops
That’s it! Just think of the options with colors and a new use for all those old shirts in your closet! I’m thinking stocking stuffers for Christmas gift ideas!
