This patriotic
hair
band is extremely easy to make and it really jazzes up your look for
your Memorial Day party, Fourth of July barbecue, or Labor Day picnic!
These can be made for any holiday, substituting in the colors of
choice. Think about making some in your child's school colors

1.
Begin by cutting the ribbon into 6 inch lengths.
You should end up with 6 pieces each of red, white, and blue
ribbon.
2. If the ribbon frays easily, an optional step is to dip
each end of the ribbon into fabric stiffener, or a bit of glue, and
allow to dry.
3. Begin by tying one length of ribbon around the elastic
band, in a simple square knot, as shown below.
4. Continue to tie the ribbons around the elastic band,
alternating red, white, and blue.
5.
Continue all
the way around until you have tied all 18 ribbons. Now it is
ready to wear it in your hair!
