Learn how to make these easy to sew diy headbands with buttons to wear with your face masks. Take the strain off your ears by attaching the elastic loops to the buttons instead
I made these super easy headbands from scratch using old t-shirts and cheap t-shirts I bought at Walmart. They are a great way to take the strain of your ears if you are wearing a face mask for an extended period of time. And as an added bonus they will cover up your quarantine roots if you are patiently waiting for the hair salons to reopen like I am.
You may already have some head bands at home so follow along with the tutorial so you can learn how to easily add buttons to one you have already. But of course a girl can never have too any headbands they are essential for keeping your hair out of your face when washing your face at the end of the day or if you are working out to keep strays hair at bay.
From start to finish they easy headbands probably only take 10 min and after you complete one you will be a pro and can make many others to share with your friends.
