braided headband tutorial

i made this headband for my outfit yesterday.  i think it is really cute!  i love how big the braids are and i love how it is fraying!  just in case you were wondering, this is my beautiful sister Kelsie!  she is the one always behind the camera.  thanks to her i have so many cute photos of my outfits on my blog!  shes older than me by 5 years and most people think that im older than her. hahaha...she doesn't like it.  this one time she went into the nursery at church with her kids ( she has two) and the lady in there asked her what her brothers name was! haha she wasn't very happy about that haha.

don't you love her shorts??  they're cute huh??  they used to be blue jeans!  we both bleached our jeans...mine still have some bleaching to do but when they're done i will most certainly share!  so anyways here is the tutorial!

 you will need  some fabric, elastic, and a pair of scissors

 first measure your head and cut a strip of fabric long enough for your head and wide enough to braid.  then cut that strip of fabric into thirds, but when you get to the end leave some fabric uncut

 then braid the fabric.  i did two sets of braids

 then cut a piece of elastic out and sew the braided end that is cut to it. trim off the extra fabric

 once it is sewn and trimmed, take the other braid with the uncut side...

 and wrap it around the other braid so that you cant see the messiness anymore

then sew it on.  do this to both sides and you're done!
