Orange, purple, and black are called Halloween colors.

A headband using these three colors will really make your Halloween costume stand out.

Thread Halloween-colored hair ties onto the headband and secure them.

Attach hair ties along the entire headband, feed them through from one end, and pull them tight.

Repeat this process, then add decorative beads or pearls to finish.

It’s easy to make, so it’s a great project for kids.

The fluffy, braided look of the hair ties is super cute.

Shape the wire into ears, attach them to the headband, and secure them by wrapping yarn around while gluing in place.

Finally, decorate with ribbons, bells, and pearl stickers, and you’re done!

It would be delightful to wear a headband with a fluffy, real-cat-like feel, wouldn’t it? This time, let’s make some cute cat ears using a pattern and faux fur fabric.

What you’ll need: a pattern, faux fur fabric, lining fabric, duct tape, pins, and a sewing machine.

Store-bought ones are nice too, but the warmth and flexibility of handmade items are really appealing.

Choosing fabrics with your child and spending time making them will become a cherished memory as well.

These will be a hit at recitals or any event where you can dress up!

Just fold with a familiar material—newspaper! Here’s a simple method for making cat ears.

All you need are newspaper, scissors, and glue.

It finishes like a hat, so after you’re done, you can wear it on your head and play at being a cat.

The key is to sharpen the sides of the hat so they stand up like ears! It also sounds fun to customize it by coloring with crayons or paint, or by gluing on torn pieces of origami paper.

Give it a try!

With just black and yellow origami paper, glue, and scissors, you can make realistic cat ears! The key is to cut the origami to the size you need before you start.

Apply glue and lift the paper to give the ears a three-dimensional finish, and you’ll have adorable cat ears.

It’s also nice to clip them to your hair with hairpins.

When attaching the black and yellow origami together, using double-sided tape or similar may help prevent the papers from peeling apart.

In conclusion

I think there are quite a few headband ideas you can make with origami.

If you have a child in daycare or kindergarten—or a family with kids—you probably have extra origami paper lying around.

Make the most of it and create a lovely headband!
