Instructions
How to Create Your Headband:
-
Once you have chosen your pattern, fold and bundle accordingly, apply tie-dye according to package directions, and wrap in plastic wrap to keep moist. For the most vibrant colors allow to set for 6-8 hours. If you want to produce more pastel colors only let set for 30 minutes or so.
-
Once the dye is set to your desired intensity, unwrap, remove rubber bands, rinse off the remaining dye, and toss t-shirt(s) alone in a hot washer with minimal soap. Dry normally and you’re done!
-
Cut your fabric into nine 1/2-inch strips, long enough to wrap around your head. Create three braids.
-
Connect the ends of each braid individually by own running them through your sewing machine.
-
Once each braid is connect separately, line up each braid and run through the sewing machine again, attaching them to each other. You’re done!
