Want something fun to wear on your head? Make this knotted headband!
For some reason I have a lot of old headbands lying around. I decided to give one a makeover using some ribbon and some hot glue. This DIY is super easy, you can do it yourself in around 10 minutes.

4: Trim the excess ribbon off the ends. Leave enough ribbon to fold around the ends of the headband.
