Don\u2019t spend money on overpriced, name brand headbands when you can make one yourself in less than 5 minutes!\u00a0 All you need are a pair of women\u2019s tights.<\/p>\n

Grab a colorful pair of tights (or panty hose for the old school ladies) from Target, Walmart, Old Navy or other retailers.\u00a0 The little girl section of stores usually has the best choices for multicolored, bright, and even patterned tights.\u00a0 Girl\u2019s tights are reasonably priced too, usually costing around $5.<\/p>\n

First, remove the packaging and arrange the tights so they are fully unrolled and flat on the ground.\u00a0 At the toe of the tights, cut straight across, removing the closed toed tip of each leg.<\/p>\n

Next, at the start of the actual leg of the tight, cut straight across separating the leg part of the tight from the part that goes up around your waist.\u00a0 Do this on both sides, for each leg of the tights creating two strips.<\/p>\n

Finally, take one of the strips and wrap it around your head .\u00a0 Tie the ends in a knot in the back of your head.<\/p>\n
