Turban Headbands

1. I always use jersey fabric because its nice and stretchy. I've had the best luck with using men's size large t-shirts because the width of the t-shirt perfectly wraps around my head twice OR once in a while I'll upcycle something that I have on hand- like this striped maternity dress. 


2. I cut wide strips about 8-10 inches wide. I make use of the seam already sewn into the garment. 


3. I cut 2-3 strips (which becomes the headband) so I can layer them together.


To wear I start by wrapping it around my head twice and then I layer the 2nd and 3rd once the same way. This creates nice volume and is the key to creating the look of a turban.
