Step 1:
-
Head Measure
-
In order to cut the right length of ribbon, measure your head with a measuring tape where the headband will be positioned. Cut the ribbon two inches less than this measurement.
-
Step 2:
-
Stop The Fray
-
Once you cut the ribbon to the correct size, dab some anti fray solution onto the ends of the ribbon so it doesn't fray. You can find anti fray solution at a sewing store or in the glue section of a craft store.

Step 3:
-
Make It Stretch
-
After you've let the anti fray solution dry on either end of the ribbon, connect one end of the ribbon with an end of the elastic. With a needle and thread, make several stitches back and forth through the ribbon. If you're not great with a needle and thread, ask a relative or a tailor to do it for you. It would take them just a couple minutes and will probably do it gratis. Before doing the same to the other side, check the fit. If it's not snug on your head, trim the ribbon and/or the elastic to make it a little tighter. Then repeat this step for the other side of the ribbon.
