Recycle T-Shirts Into Headbands

Our Instructable will show you how to transform old T-Shirts into a vibrant and stylish braided headband. No need to spend $10-$15 on a name brand headband. Do It Yourself.

If you are like us or have kids like us, you are certain to have T-Shirts that are torn, tattered, or you have simply outgrown them

Anyone can make our headbands. This is a very quick and easy project that should take you about 10-15 minutes to make it. This saves you time and money. And, the color combinations are endless depending on your T-Shirt wardrobe collection. Best of all, they are FREE!

• Old T-Shirts (pick 2-3 of different colors)
• Scissors
• Glue Sticks
• Glue Gun

We will show one style of braided headband. If you want to get fancy and try different styles, see the link below.

How To Braid

First you have to cut the bottoms off of the clothing/cloth with the scissors. It will be easiest to just cut off and use the bottom hemmed fringe of the T-shirts. But, you can continue to cut more strips about 1 inch wide to make multiple strips from the same T-shirts. The more strips you cut, the more headbands you can make.

Use your hot glue gun to glue the ends of 3 strips of material together at one end.

Now you braid the cloth together to get a long braid of cloth.

Once you have braided to your desired length, glue the other end together so both ends are glued.

Finally you put it on and wear it like a boss.

What we have learned when making this product is to be careful when using a glue gun. They can be dangerous so be careful. This was an enjoyable product to make. If you decide to make our DIY headband we hope that you have a good time and an enjoyable one too. This should not be a long, frustrating, stressful project. This should be fun and exciting. If you make this braided headband we hope you have a nice time.

When your friends ask where you bought your cool and stylish headband you can tell them, "I made it"!
