Head Band

Yes, i know i havent posted in a while. And i understand, your frustrated, but i promise ill try to post more. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!
Alright so today we are going to make a headband! Indie, hippie, Urban look.

What your going to need:

-Sissors

-yarn (alot of it)

Preparation: You need to go to this website and pick out your pattern. http://www.friendship-bracelets.net/index.php . it doesnt matter how intricate your pattern is or not, but i like to make mine range from 8 to 12 strings, more would look cool. It depends on what look your going for.


The pattern im going to use is #241


10 strings in 3 different colors.



1st: Cut each string about 15 ft. if its too short you can alway tie extra on, if its too long, cut it off when u finish. Warning this is ALOT of string and may be overwhelming, just stay with it because the end product is worth it.






2nd: Now your going to make a knot then braid all this string about 8 to 12 inches






3rd: Make another knot then follow the pattern that you chose.




4th: Measure the circumference and subract 2 inches. This the length your going to want to make your band.




5th: Make a knot then make another braid. Try to make it about the same length as the first one you have made.


6th. Cut off the excess strings and your done!!


Now wear it with pride!
