moms or anyone: newborn headbands

I'm really just looking for the elastic part of the headband. I've made some flowers and I'd really like to find elastic for a newborn but I can't seem to find it. My last hope is babys r us tonight or tomorrow night or i'll just have to sew adult ones and just use those. or go buy elastic... lol. anyway, anyone know??? (i'm down south remember..)

Re: moms or anyone: newborn headbands

  • elastics for this type of deal are really easy to make...i don't know where to find just the band, w/ no decoration...

    to make it though, buy some plain elastic from the fabric store..a liiiittle bit shorter than you need (it stretches!). then cut fabric about 150% the length of it, and about 3x's as wide..sew a the elastic to one end of it...stretch it out and sew the other end together...make a couple benchmarks in the middle of stitching, to hold it together. sew the side of the fabric piece together

     you've esentiallyl made a "straw" with fabric....and elastic attached to the outside.

    then the "easy" way  is to tie a piece of wire, or a stick to one end, and "pull it through" to make it right-side-out.....then sew the ends together.

    voila, a band.

    i realize that i was typing this out, this is also how you make a DIY garter for your wedding..so maybe look up instructions for that for a better explanation than i just gave haha

    jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
  • There's a whole isle of stretchy, decorative elastics that might suite your needs.  Would a kid's cotton(ish) headband work?  If so, Target has lots of colours to choose from.
