Double Braided Headband

Hello!
Today I'm going to show you how to make a double braided headband with some old leggings and a pair of scissors!



Okay! Lets begin. First you'll need to cut out 3 strips out of your leggings/t-shirt.
When you have cut 3 strips you'll need to cut them in half. Cut at the seam so you wont be able to see it in the braid. 
This is what they will look like when there cut. One of my strips were longer than the other because I ran out of leggings but thats not a problem.



Step 5 is to pulls it till its thin and round,but don't pull it too hard


 After it stretched you'll need to trim the end to be the same length. 



 Now you will need something to hold you braid. You can use your teeth,toes a dresser drawer, a door. Really anything you can think of.
But! before you do that you will need to knot it.



Make sure the knot is small and tight then trim off the excess.



Okay now you might want to braid just a little before you clip it down so there's no gap. 


Make sure you braid is tight but fat.


Make sure you strips are bigger than usual

 Now! Once your braided about 1inch 1 1/2 you need to do this step.
Take each strand and cut it in half.
 Then after you cut the three strands in half you will need to pair them up. And braid the three strands
When your done loosely know it but not too tight where you can't un knot it.

 Finish the other strand.

 Okay now your done with you double braids! Now it's time to make it one big braid.  Pair up the braids in two. and braid all together until you get......
 This!



Enjoy!



I might make a single headband tutorial...... I don't know?
