Headbands!

I decided to try to make a few headbands for J.  She went through my fabric piles and chose some she liked.  I followed this tutorial from Old Red Barn Co, so she gets all the credit for how to make these.
For the first headband, I followed the tutorial exactly, but J wanted a narrower one.  So, for the next one, I cut my strips 3" wide.  I didn't want to make the narrow part any smaller, so I didn't cut over 1 inch or i would have ended up with only 1 inch on the narrow end.  I just cut at an angle to still have 2 inches at the top.  J also wanted her headband a little tighter.  I tried cutting a piece of elastic that was about 2 1/2 inches long, but it ended up WAY too tight.  So, I left it 3 inches long and just inserted it further into the headband.  I think she was pleased with the 3rd headband.  It was the only one that made the final cut.  LOL.  They were fun to make though.
