Remake a T-shirt

In a world where the SDGs are in the spotlight, how about upcycling an old T-shirt into a headband? No need to worry if you’re not good at sewing or think it sounds hard—just cut, tie, and secure with a hot glue gun! If you want a more colorful finish, you can take one extra step and dye a plain unwanted T-shirt.

Since the T-shirt is worn-in, it stretches nicely and should make a comfortable headband.

You can make lots from a single T-shirt, so give it a try!

Try making them with fluffy fabrics like boa.

Creating bunny ears in your team color would be adorable, too.

Hand-knitted headband

[Finger-Knitted Hairband] Easy craft! Kids can do it too! How to make a hand-knitted hairband without a crochet hook ♡ How to make a finger knitting hair band ♡

Hand-knitted headband

Here’s how to make a headband using finger knitting.

Even if you’ve never knitted before or find it difficult, this is easy! Plus, since it’s finger knitting, you don’t need anything besides yarn—no needles required.

You thread the yarn alternately through your fingers, then move the front strand to the back of your fingers.

After you finish one row, wrap the yarn around to the front again, then move it to the back… It’s a simple, repetitive motion.

Why not try knitting while chatting with friends? You can use not only regular yarn but also T-shirt yarn.

In conclusion

How did you like the headband idea? Since headbands are made of soft fabric, they’re less likely to give you a headache even if you wear them for a long time.

I think they’re easy to wear for the sports festival, too, so try styling them cutely and give it a go.

If it’s made of towel fabric, it’ll absorb sweat as well—two birds with one stone!
