After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Headbands have become a common fashion item for babies.

With matching sets for moms and intricate designs available, they’ve now become a staple.

You’ll want to incorporate items in colors and motifs that moms love.

This time, we’re introducing ideas for handmade baby headbands.

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas with different motifs and materials, so you’re sure to find something you’ll want to make.

Handmade headbands are also recommended as part of your preparations for the baby’s arrival.

Be sure to find your favorite idea!

How to Make a Baby Headband [Adjustable Size]

Adjustable headband

I’ll show you how to make a size-adjustable headband that has elastic threaded through it and a ribbon you can retie.

Prepare two pieces of fabric measuring 30×10 cm, one piece measuring 27×6 cm, and one 15 cm piece of elastic.

Fold each 30×10 cm piece in half right sides together, and mark a point 10 cm up from the bottom.

Cut from the bottom to the mark in a gentle curve.

Next, sew the open long edge with a 1 cm seam allowance.

Without cutting the stitching, trim the tip slightly and snip notches along the curve at 2 cm intervals.

Sew the 27×6 cm fabric into a tube and thread the elastic through it.

Combine the ribbon parts with the elastic part, and you’re done.

Double Ribbon Headband

Double Ribbon Headband

Here’s an idea for a hairband with lovely double ribbons.

The ribbons can slide, so you can adjust their position depending on the baby’s movements.

First, cut the main fabric to 8 cm by 30 cm and sew it into a tube.

Do the same with a 7 cm by 30 cm strip for the elastic casing, thread the elastic through it, and sew it to the main fabric.

You can choose any ribbon size you like, but prepare two rectangular pieces sewn into tubes.

Slightly offset the two pieces, layer them, accordion-fold them, then stitch the center to form ribbons.

Finally, take a piece measuring 8 cm by 4 cm, fold it into thirds, and use it to attach the ribbons to the main band to finish.

Be careful not to sew the ribbons directly onto the band so they can slide.

[100 yen shop] Hand-sewn headband

Would you like to try making a cute headband with ribbon pom-poms? Hand sewing lets you fill it with a mother’s love.

First, prepare 40 cm of stretch lace.

Fold each end inwards twice, overlap them, and sew them together.

Next, cut 20 cm of ribbon for the decorative pom-pom.

To prevent fraying, lightly singe the ends of the ribbon with a flame.

Sew a running stitch down the middle of the ribbon.

Do not tie a knot at the start.

Once stitched, remove the needle, pull both ends of the thread to gather the ribbon, and tie them together.

Sew the pom-pom onto the lace base, and you’re done.

elastic headband

Headbands can be stiff and uncomfortable for babies, right? So here’s an idea for a headband with a fabric band and an adjustable elastic.

First, cut your fabric.

For the main band, cut a piece 100 cm wide; for the bow, 18 cm wide by 10 cm tall; and for the strip that secures the bow to the band, 5 cm wide by 7 cm tall.

Sew the main fabric into a tube, thread elastic through it, and stitch it closed.

For the bow, sew the fabric into a tube, then tuck in both ends, shape it into a bow, and stitch.

Fold the small strip into thirds, then use it to attach the bow to the main band and sew in place.

It’s easy—give it a try!
