This is a cute ribbon-shaped headband made with crepe-style fabric scraps.

You can find the fabric scraps, flower organza, ribbons, and braided cords at 100-yen shops.

First, press the fabric scrap with an iron and cut it using a 15 cm × 7 cm pattern.

Next, fold it in half and sew two sides except the folded edge.

Turn it inside out and hand-stitch the opening closed.

Accordion-fold the finished piece and tie the center with thread.

Combine the two pieces, retie with a braided cord, and secure with a glue gun—that’s it! Add any decorations you like to finish it off.
