I'm going to show you how I turned a bracelet into a headband, so you can do it too!

First you need some supplies:

• One of these inexpensive bracelets from WalMart. (A friendship bracelet or even ribbon works great too!)
• Elastic for sewing (I got the 1/4 in. braided kind)
• Sewing needle & matching thread
• Scissors
• Ruler (optional)
• And, a parent/guardian to help you!

After I got out my supplies, I opened the bracelet and I snipped off the extra loop on the left, and cut off a half inch on the right.

After cutting a piece of elastic about 5 inches long, I looped it around the hole in the bracelet. I folded it about an inch.

Then I began sewing a few simple stiches to attach the elastic to the bracelet.

Then I moved on to the other side...

Almost finished...

And ta-daa! A new headband that can easily slip over my dolls head with the elastic.

Kit loved being my model! The headbands can be worn bohemian/hippie style or normally. :)

The heart headband is so CUTE!
