Making Everyday Beautiful

DIY Turban Style Headband Tutorial

Tuesday, July 29, 2014

Hi, I’m Carissa, creative mastermind behind the blog Carissa Miss. I blog about my projects, which usually include paint and/or wood. I love refinishing furniture, like this campaign-style dresser I made from a cheap Ikea Rast dresser, or building furniture like this upholstered bed for my daughter. I also love sewing things for my kids, like my daughter’s Elsa dress, but I mostly sew for my home. All my curtains are custom, as well as the bedding, pillows, I think you get the idea. 
Now that I’ve got your mind on sewing, I can’t wait to share a fun tutorial with you today. I host monthly craft nights with locals and last month we made turban-style headbands.

bow template

Measure around your head and cut a piece of fabric that length and about 8″ wide.

Sew the long edge together with right sides facing, turn right side out

Fold coordinating fabric so you can fit full template on the fold and cut two pieces

Unfolded should look like this

Sew right sides together, leaving a small gap unsewn to flip right side out again

Sew the ends of the headband together by scrunching in thirds

Tie bow around the knot and you’re ready!

OR, add an alligator clip to the bow and wear it separately. I use these in my daughter’s hair all the time!

    What is the length of the bow template?! Printer isn’t working – just going to draw my own but was unsure of size… I’m thinking 6 inches?

    Does the material for the bow/knot need to be a knit also, or does it matter? This was a great tutorial and I am excited to make a few for my new baby girl and her big sister!

    Such cute headbands!! Thanks so much for posting. They’re EXACTLY the kind of headwrap I’ve been looking for! Also could you please give a bun tutorial from the blonde girl in the peach shirt and blue striped headband? That’s my favorite kind of bun but I have no idea how to do it 🙂 Thanks!!

    Hi Rebecca! Love the headbands! Can you please tell me if you have a tutorial on how to make the style headwrap the girl in the peach top/blonde hair is wearing? Or the ones the lady in the 6th pic down in the brown and white stripe top has in her hand?! Love that style and can’t seem to figure it out! Thanks 🙂

    Do you not sew the gathered ends of the wrap together? I put a different type of bow on the wrap, so I felt it necessary to sew the ends together and gather them when I was putting the bow on.
