This fun and easy twisty turban headband makes a great addition to any outfit. Whether you’re looking to jazz up a simple jean and t-shirt combo or are wanting to accessorize a more glam look, this turban wrap headband is the perfect choice. Let’s get started.
Tools and materials:
- Silk
- Pins
- Safety pin
- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Elastic (1.57 x 6.69 inches)
1. Begin with three silk rectangles
To make this elegant turban headband, begin with three silk rectangles (two 18.11 x 9.84 inches and one 3.93 x 10.23 inches) and fold each in half lengthways, with the right side of the silk inside.
2. Create three silk tubes
Secure the silk with pins then sew the outer edges of each silk rectangle together in turn, remembering to secure the stitches. You should now have three silk tubes.
Press the seam open. To easily iron the silk tubes, insert a piece of sized paper.
Using a safety pin, turn the silk tubes inside out so that the seam is hidden. Press the seam flat and iron again.
3. Add the elastic
Take the smallest of the three silk rectangles and insert the elastic using a safety pin. Secure it with pins and sew across both ends of the band.
4. Form a band
Fold one of the larger tubes in half and sew across the outer edges to form a band.
5. Combine the silk pieces
Then, place the elasticated band in the center of the larger band. Pinch the excess silk into a neat end, then sew the two pieces together, remembering to secure the stitches. Trim away any excess threads.
6. Add the final piece
Turn the smaller band out from the larger band then insert the remaining larger tube through the first larger tube. Sew the open ends of the silk together.
Again, place the end of the elasticated band in the center of the larger band. Pinch in the excess silk into a neat end, then pin and sew the two pieces together.
