- Here’s how I made my headband…results may vary for different head sizes!
Materials:
9 different colors of acrylic yarn (Red Heart Super Saver)
Tape measure
Scissors
Packing tape (duct tape, etc)
Toes
Directions:
Cut a strand from each skein of yarn that measures 218 inches long
Lay strands out nicely next to one another, so they are not tangled
Fold all colors in half, taking care to try and not mix up the colors (if you do, it’s fine…it’s hard not to)
Measure 14 inches from the fold, and tie all strands into a knot
Tape on a table or hold yarn with your toe while you work
Complete Chevron Friendship Bracelet pattern (2 knots per color on each side…watch a tutorial if you don’t know how to do this!!) until desired length (I made my design 14” long, so that it stopped right above each of my ears…make yours as long or short as you’d like!)
Cut the folded loops on the top, so you have 18 individual strands of yarn
Measure 15” on the bottom end of the free hanging yarn, cut and tie a knot at the bottom of the chevrons to match the one at the top
Separate 18 into 3 groups of six and braid each side
Tie knots at the ends of braids
Tie that cutie on your head! You’re done! :)

Love, Liz
You could totally turn a long one into a belt, That would be so cute! Love your work! ❤
Yesss I want to make one!! 🥰🥰
you should make bookmarks like that, i made one with embroidery thread and it took forever but it would be so cool with yarn
Ooh bookmarks are a cool idea! I could never sell any of my yarn crafts cause I have too many cats. 😂 This thing is full of little tied in cat hairs. 😂🙈
You’re so fun to watch, Liz. The headband idea is awesome! Can’t wait for the rug idea to come to fruition 😂 Have a great day!
Haha ahh, me either!!! It would be so cute. Thank you so much for always watching! 🥰❤️
Girl, that is so cute. I remember doing these. So much fun. You could a squiggle rug. Those are fun too. You could have a blast blending the colors. Alison Russell has a very good tutorial of that technique. The pattern makes a rug, or blanket, that is ver plush. Hugs from Florida ☀️🌈
I am 62 years old be 63 in a few months. This is the first time ever seeing somebody make these. Its so cool 😎 thanks
Friendship bracelets brought me back. The headband is real cute. Again I am amazed that your cats can be that close to yarn and not roll around in your project.
They’re pretty good about it for the most part! I’m surprised too. Jasper is a jerk sometimes, though. 😂 And yesss these babies take me way back, too. 😭 The nostalgia! ❤️
I used to make friendship bracelets when I was young, you have genuinely just inspired me to go and make one of these for my BF for Xmas. (She has some alopecia), and this will help her feel really comfortable and look stunning!
I think you are my spirit animal, haha! I love that you're so quirky, weird, silly, etc., despite the internal struggles.
You're the best, thanks for sharing.
Hahaha, YOU are the best! Ya gotta be a little silly and weird go get through the bs. Thank you for your kindness! ❤️ Hope you have a great week!
When I made macrame wall hangings, I used long strands of jute. I made little bundles with my hand, and tied them with rubber bands. Looks like a way you can use to not make a snarl or knot.
Omg that lil sample could be a cool earrings!! Make a sterling silver topper ❤❤❤❤
That headband turned out so well! This is exactly why I love making malas. Really enjoy the knot process. 😊
Ooh good call! That would be cute! ❤️
Girl this is SO CUTE
THANKS! It would looks amazing on you if you’ve got some yarn scraps!
I don't even wear headbands but now I totally want to do it 😅Love this idea! 💜
I don’t either. 😂😂😂 But I’m gonna start! You should totally make one. ❤️
This is such a fabulous Idea. I love how you use materials in out of the box ways!!
Thank you!! The spice of life! Appreciate you watching. 🥰
Hooking your bracelet on your toe is a classic 😂 takes me back. This is so cool! I love how the light blue pops among the other colors
Hahaha I knooow, I felt like I was 10 again sitting on the sidewalk in the summertime. 😂 The nostalgia!! 🥰❤️
This is so cute Liz!!!! I loooove❤❤❤
Thank you so much, friend!! 🥰❤️
Such a crafty girl. I’m sad I never had the friends bracelet experience. We had some sort of bead pin thing. Actually I think only myself and one other girl did that, so not an actual thing😢. I really like the headband and think it could look cool stitched together as a pillow cover. Anyway good job 👍.
Aww, Anna! I’m sorry you didn’t have that experience as a kid. 🫂 It’s never too late for friendship bracelets! 🥰 I still love making them, and doing it with yarn like this makes it a lot easier to learn/see. Totally would be a cute pillow, you’re right! ❤️🌈🧶
I still love friendship bracelets at my big age of 37 so I'm obsessed with this idea! You're so creative🧡🧡🧡🧡
They’re the most fun! Thank youuu. 🥰 Appreciate you! ❤️
Really cute and your hair looks nice when it’s up!!
You are kind, I’ve always hated it up! Thank you so much. 💛
This looks so fun! Can’t wait to make it!
You definitely gotta do it! 🥰
Oh I love that!
Thank you!! It’s so fun! 🥰❤️🌈
Ok this is ADORABLE!! It looks so good! Also you are so brave for finishing that on the table where your pet's bowls are... I wouldve absolutely knocked that shit off with my elbow 😂
Thank you so much!! Hahaha I have 4 cats and I am always dodging them and all their crap. 😂❤️
If you wind the long strands onto bobbins it might be easier to manage. You can make small bobbins out of cardboard.
That’s smart! I was going to roll them up and tie them with rubber bands but I decided against it cause they were relatively manageable after a few rounds but that really does sound so much easier! 😂 I wanted to make a purse strap but was intimidated by the amount of yarn I’d need…that idea makes it seem doable!! ❤️❤️❤️
this is so incredibly genius. i was thinking about making a belt using friendship bracelet thread but thatd take FOREVER but yarn!!! i dont know how i didnt think of that so simple but so brilliant 10/10 and your headband turned out so CUTE!!! also would like to add i was looking for something to watch while working on a friendship bracelet. how perfect.
Serendipity!! 🥰 Thank you! You haveeee to make a belt! That would be so so cute. And please show me when you’re done, if you have Instagram! I’d love to see it. ❤️
I love it!!! If you had the patience, you could turn a really long one into a guitar strap!
That would be so cute!! My bf and I were literally just talking like 5 mins ago about making a huge one and making a rug! 😅😅
Super duper cute, Liz! Loved watching!
Thanks Sunny! 🥰
I want to try this for a guitar strap!
You should! That would be really cute.
I’m here and subscribed because of your comment on Timmy’s video. ❤
Aww hi! 🥰 Thank you!! You’re the best. ❤️
@@Lizfoolery - Howdy!
this is so genius!! it came out soooo cute!! imagine if you used even chunkier yarn :o
I knoooow! I was at Joann’s the other day and saw super thick chunky yarn and told my bf I need to get it for the rug of my dreamssss! ✨ Thank you for watching!! ❤️
If there is anyone out there in metric land - 218 inches = 553.72 centimetres. Just over 5 and a half metres!!! You’re right lady, that’s SUPER long :)
Lol i feel so silly. This made me want to make friendship bracelets but i dont have the embroidery thread and then u showed your headband and i was like wait why cant i just use my yarn like shes literally doing LOL. So cute!
Hahaha yesss! You could totally make a bracelet with yarn too! It’s super fun, I hope you make one! 🥰💖
This is so cool, I have loads of yarn that needs using so I'm definitely going to give this a go. I'm wondering if kumihimo bobbins might help with keeping the long loose ends from getting tangled?
Ooh yeah, probably! That’s a good idea! It is annoying working with yarn that long. 😂
Metric land:
14 inches = 35.56 centimetres
I love these bracelets but I get so bored making them so it takes me a week or 2 to complete one lol.. bead work is way faster
be cool for a purse strap
Totally! I thought the same thing. I want to do it! 👜
With extra yarn, you can make hats for homeless people or charity, or hospital.
You could do the strips and use a sewing machine to zig zag them together.....I wanna make a hippie belt like so 70s I love it
Oooh using a sewing machine is a really good idea!! You gotta make a belt! And send me a pic on Instagram or something! I was thinking about making one too, would be so cute tied around a long flowy dress.
