Easy-Peasy Headband Tutorial

Ok, confession time: I have big hair.
Scratch that- I have very, VERY large hair.
Don't believe me? Want proof? Ok well here you go:



So what do I do to manage my insanely big hair?
Well, I use Dove mousse, don't brush it after it's dry and wear my hair pulled back a lot.

However, wearing a ponytail all the time doesn't exactly look put-together, polished or professional now, does it? So, after about 20 years of NOT wearing headbands (because the plastic ones get so tight right behind my ears and give me a headache!), I have given them another try and I LOVE THEM! They're so cute, no hassel (can you say "go 3 days without washing my hair?" If you think that's gross, sorry. Having a 5 month old does that to you.) and, I learned last week, easy to make (plus the elastic in my version is so much more comfy)!

Want to give it a shot? Here's my very first ever picture tutorial for
the Easy-Peasy Headband
(it's big-time picture-heavy so you might want to right click and save the file)!
Go ahead and make yours wider or thinner, shorter or longer- whatever works for you! Even if you don't end up making one, still look through the tute and let me know if I'm just mindlessly babbling, or if it actually makes a teeny bit of sense!
Feeling lazy today? (that's ok- I'm lazy most days) Hop on over to my Etsy shop, wee little winslow, and grab an Easy-Peasy Headband! There's even a "pick your fabric" option!
Custom accessories for dirt cheap? Heck yes- One of the many reasons I love Etsy!
Have fun and look cute!

My problem with headbands is that they always slip off the back of my head!

Are they too tight and that's why they slip off?
I know I have some that are supposed to be "anti-slip" (with the rubbery threads running through), but they are so tight on my fat head that they do slip off!
