This loopy headband is kind of on the funky side. The loops want to stand straight up, but after playing around with them you can get them to lay a little flatter. Although it is very time consuming, you can take a hot iron to the loops and lightly press them open. You want to be careful though that you don’t press them too hard as that will just flatten them completely.
You can tie the headband on top of the head for an extra touch, or at the bottom.
You can make this headband for a young toddler or for yourself. Instructions are given for a toddler size.
