Hi there Bangers. My name is Tracy and today I’m going to show you how to make some really cute braided headbands. And for this project all you will need is a pair of scissors and three old t-shirts. Any color you want, any style you want, all you will need to the bottom of it. So usually like a smaller or medium, it would look just fine. So what you want to do is just cut the bottom of right along the edge. I’ve already use this but you can use them again. But usually, you just cut right at the seam of the shirt. Go about an inch up and just cut along one. It doesn’t have to be super straight because once you’ve braid it, you can’t really tell. And then once you get to the end, you just snip right there. We’re going to do that same thing with your other t-shirts and then you’ll have three pieces of piece. Alright, so once you’re done cutting your bottoms, you’ll have three long pieces of fabric of piece and what you want to just do is basically simply just tie the knot at the top like this and you don’t need to worry about—you just cut it off if you don’t need it out. So I’m going to close my knot into the window to make sure that it’s fit. And then what you want to do is simple—you can twist this up a little, you just great. And you’ll do that all the way until you get to the bottom. So once you’ve got to the bottom, you’ll have left over like that what you do is the same that you did at the top. You just simple tie that right there. And then if some of the colors are longer than the others, you can just snip them to all—at the same size and you’ll remove your headband. Alright, so now you have this. And if I take off of what I’m wearing, I’ll be showing you. You just simply tie on, tied up you there and simple, braided headband. And you can try them with different colors, different style.
