From the fabric you need to cut 2 pieces of 20 cm, from the elastic - 11-13 cm. If the last material is tight, then it is better to cut off a little more by 2-3 cm. The resulting parts must be sewn with a large side. The beginning and end of each segment do not need to be stitched together.
Before reaching the seam 1-2 cm, cut the edges at the folds. Turn out the resulting blanks and iron. Then you need to take an elastic band and a part that will be in the middle of the bandage. Insert the elastic into the workpiece and sew on both edges. Get a rubber band in the fold.

Notes on the master class
It is better to sew on a typewriter, it turns out faster. If the machine does not sew knitted fabric, then you can enclose a satin ribbon or a dense piece of fabric for the entire length.
1. We take knitted fabric. In this master class, soft pink color. We measure the circumference of the head with a centimeter. On the fabric, mark the length of the bandage with a small piece. Head circumference minus 2.5 cm. We can make any width. In this example, about 10 cm.
2. Fold in half, fasten the bandage with pins.
3. We sew by hand or on a sewing machine.
4. Turn the bandage inside out. We bend the fabric and manually sew the edge of the bandage, then tighten the thread.
5. Insert the elastic into the bandage and sew. The width of the bandage should be equal to the width of the elastic band.
6. On the other hand, we do the same.
7. The next step is to decorate the bandage. From knitted gray fabric we cut out a small strip, about 18 cm long and 4 cm wide. We sew and tighten the thread. We sew the ends.
8. Cut out a small strip of pink tulle fabric. Less in length and width. Fold in half. We sew and tighten the thread, sew the ends.
9. From a thin strip of white knitwear we make the same flower. Less in length and width. 
For a girl and a lady, hairstyle is of great importance. In order for the hair to look neat, various accessories are used. Women's hair jewelry is a whole industry, you will not see any options for stripes and hairpins! However, many appreciate in accessories their originality and the fact that they come in a single copy. Each girl should be unique, so the question: how to make a headband with your own hands is always relevant!
I was simply subdued by their simplicity of execution, beauty and grace of these bandages made of narrow ribbons. Moreover, you can make them even without a sewing machine. It is enough to buy some narrow rep or satin ribbon (the size of the head and the number of strips is the length of the ribbon), then you need 2 strips of leather and a piece of elastic. And you can choose absolutely any option.
If you don’t like the rep tape, any suitable fabric is taken, folded so that it does not spill out, and sewn on a machine or manually with a blind stitch. Then it remains only to iron.
The accessories below are a bit more complex and take longer to make. In this work, you need to use a ring or beads. Here you can not do without a sewing machine and a cord. This master class is performed as follows: strips of fabric are cut, their width depends on the diameter of the cord. We sew the strips, cut them, and turn them right side out. Next, we thread the cord inward and at the end of the work we decorate the product with beads. You can do without a cord, but then the strip will not look so voluminous.
Fabric bandage - master class
The most common type of hair jewelry is a bandage made of fabric or knitwear. Depending on the type of fabric and additional decorations, the bandage can be both a home decor and an accessory for an evening hairstyle.
Headbands are good because they are suitable for any hairstyle: from loose hair to a bun, tail and bouffant. If you need a warm headband and want to wear it instead of a headdress - for this it is better to take materials such as fleece, wool, velor, drape, and so on.
For work you will need:
- A piece of fabric (knitwear, viscose, silk).
- Ruler.
- Scissors, thread, needle.
- Centimeter.
We will need 2 pieces of knitwear or fabric. The length of one piece is your head circumference plus 4 cm. The width is 30 cm. For example, your head circumference is 55 cm. Therefore, the size of one piece is 59/30 cm. Both pieces should be the same size.
We fold each piece in half lengthwise and sew on a machine or manually with a “back needle” seam.
Turn both pieces right side out.
We lay the turned-out parts one on top of the other with the seams up.
We look at the photo and add the details in the same way.
As a result, such a “loop” should turn out.
We add all four sections together, take a centimeter and mark with a pencil the size of the volume of the head (we have it 55 cm). Draw a line with a ruler and pencil. We draw along the marked line. We measure the product on the head.
If it is convenient and the strip is not too tight, we grind these 4 ends of the two parts and cut off the excess. Such a strip looks interesting if you take 2 pieces of material of different colors.
Another very simple master class is a summer pantyhose bandage. Of course, such an accessory will be most interesting from colored tights, but ordinary black tights will also do.
In the work we use 2 pairs of tights of different colors.
Cut off the top. If there is a heel on the tights, we also cut it off. If not, leave the sock as it is.
We fold as shown in the photo.
Tighten the knot as tight as possible.
We measure the volume of the head and mark the size of the strip with a pencil or soap.
We chip off with a pin and sew on a typewriter or manually with threads to match the color of tights with a small stitch.
Cut off the excess elastic. Here is the new accessory. Original and unusual, you must agree!
Those who love the boho style know that this style loves unusual accessories, for example, many girls like the Indian headband:
Such an interesting ethno Indian accessory can be made of leather strips, beads and feathers. You can use a cord of three colors instead of leather.
It is not the first summer that women of fashion wear a bandanna not only around the neck, on the arm, on the ankle, but also on the head. And the summer of 2018 promises us again the fashion for bandana headbands.

Colored elastic tape of medium width (2-3 cm);

We take the first circle, bend it in half, apply a little glue in the middle, put a second similar bent flower or circle on top and also apply glue, you need to hold it a little until the glue sets. So you need to do with the rest of the details.
Pantyhose bandage
The easiest way to make a headband for a child is to use the simplest nylon children's tights. Capron itself is quite soft and elastic material, so it is most suitable for the child's head. When you take measurements, you need to take into account that this material stretches very well, which means you need to cut off the strip a little less.
Pantyhose bandage
You can decorate such a bandage with rhinestones or beads, you can also place a flower, but it should be made of lightweight materials.
The main focus of this headband is on the flower. To make it, you need to cut a lot of circles from the fabric, then you should sew them together and tighten the main thread, while you will have a flower.
