Opal Crown: Hand Sew

Last weekend, I went to the craft section at Walmart to buy some paint and a couple of other stuff I needed, when I stumbled upon some bandanas. I knew instantly what I needed them for and immediately grabbed a few. Once an idea pops in my head, there's no going back, I need to just go for it and do it. Halter tops are one of my favorite tops to wear during the summertime, so when I saw the bandana, the first thing that crossed my mind was to make my own. Several online stores already sell bandana tops but are usually priced anywhere between 20-40 dollars. The bandana itself cost me 1 dollar and it took me less than 10 minutes to make.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

1 Bandana
2 Strings
Needle & Thread
Scissors

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Start by folding the bandana in half to form a triangle.

2.) Fold over the top part and sew straight across.

3.) Fold over the two bottom sides of the bandana and sew.

4.) To create the neckline, insert one of the strings through the tunnel of the top.

5.) Repeat the same step on the bottom to be able to tie it from the back.

ALL DONE!

Do you have any fabric scraps leftover from previous projects? If that's the case, don't toss them out. Instead, make hair scrunchies. I have a lot of unused bits that I've accumulated over the years and decided today would be the perfect opportunity to put them to good use. Except for this time, I'm not going to make traditional scrunchies. Instead, I tried something else and made a scarf scrunchie. They've become increasingly popular in recent years. I've never purchased one, so why not make a few now that I have so much free time? Hair scrunchies, after all, are considerably better for our hair and a lot cuter than normal hair ties.
