How to Make a Headband with Raffia Yarn

Line headband down the middle with the sticky tape. Be sure to line both the inside and the outside for best results.
-
Beginning at one end of the headband, carefully wrap the raffia yarn around the headband.
-
Be sure the yarn lies flat and completely covers the tape.
-
As you are working around, pause now and then to press the Raffia firmly onto the tape.
-
When you reach the other end, continue wrapping, including over the end. Cut off the yarn and place a small square of sticky tape on the tail and press to the inside.
