Isn't that little girl cute? That's Lily in the picture above, my 10 week old daughter, sporting a headband I made for her. She is one of our twins born in January. The other twin is our baby boy, Palmer. He declined to wear a cute headband. The twins have been keeping me very busy, especially with nursing them. I worked on these cute headbands while I nursed the babies; it gave me something to do while they were eating. They are very easy to make, and are a great way to upcycle old clothes or use up fabric scraps. You will only need a bit of fabric, thread, optional embellishments, and elastic to make these headbands. Chances are, you can salvage some fabric from a stained top, a button off an old shirt, or perhaps some elastic off of an old pair of pants. Keep in mind when you are choosing elastic however, that baby's head is delicate, so you will want something that stretches easily. The elastic should probably be no wider ...
