[Handmade] Stylish DIY Headbands You’ll Want to Use for Your Baby (1–10)
Headband with a big ribbon

Let me introduce a handmade idea for a headband with a cute big ribbon.
This one is finished simply by sewing the fabric into a tube, so it’s great for beginners.
First, cut the fabric for the headband body and the ribbon from any fabric you like.
For the body, cut it to fit your child’s head size, and for the ribbon, round off both sides.
Sew both pieces into pouch shapes, leaving a small opening for turning, then turn them right side out.
Insert elastic into the body piece and stitch the opening closed, then tie the ribbon piece onto the body to finish.
Since the ribbon isn’t sewn on, you can make several and switch them out to match your mood.
cross hairband

Try incorporating a stylish crossed headband into your baby’s outfits.
You can make it with any fabric you like.
First, cut two pieces of fabric to 38 × 14 cm.
Cut elastic to 12 cm.
Also prepare a piece of fabric measuring 24 × 7.5 cm to cover the elastic.
Fold each 38 cm fabric piece in half and sew 1 cm from the edge.
Press the seam open with an iron, then turn the tubes right side out.
Cross the two turned tubes at the center, then fold the ends diagonally, overlap the edges, and sew them together.
Sew the elastic-cover fabric into a tube, then combine it with the elastic and the crossed main pieces to finish.
Ribbon headband

Let’s make a cute headband with a big, vivid ribbon.
First, cut the fabric you want to use for the headband to 16 × 62.5 cm.
Fold it in half and sew it together with a zigzag stitch, then turn it right side out.
Next, sew the ends together and mark a point 10 cm from one end.
Stitch firmly along the marked section.
Adjust it so that the stitched part is at the center and form the ribbon shape.
Sew the center of the ribbon, and you’re done! It looks adorable whether you use solid-colored fabric or patterned fabric.
[Knitting] Flower Headband

Let’s make a cute crocheted flower headband.
In the video, beads are used in the center, but to prevent accidental swallowing, we recommend leaving the beads out.
Once you choose your sewing yarn, use chain stitches and single crochets to form the flower shape.
From the third round, work treble crochets to create the petals.
After making six petals, finish off the yarn.
Then make one more flower to add to the center; for this one, crochet the petals in the second round.
Once you sew the two flowers together, crochet the band back and forth, attach it to the flower, and you’re done.
Japanese-style headband

Handmade headbands that complement kimono are also recommended for occasions like a baby’s first shrine visit or the celebratory first meal.
First, prepare one sheet of felt in your preferred color, a round cord with a Japanese pattern, an elastic cord, and a floral embellishment.
You’ll also need fabric glue.
Cut the felt to 8.5 × 5.5 cm.
Fold it in half, then fold both ends outward in half again.
Shape it into a bow and temporarily secure the center.
Next, tie about 25 cm of round cord into a bow.
Attach this tied cord to the center of the felt.
Sew the elastic into a loop, then use about 7 cm of round cord to fasten the bow to the elastic to finish.
