You can not find a more simpler headband to make then this rope one. Just some rope, small felt pieces and elastic and glue and that is it. No sewing required. What a great summer project idea for a group of friends or even girl scouts. Make some to go with all your outfits and some extras for your friends. You can never have enough headbands in summer to keep your hair out of your face.

This is really simple, but sometimes that's all you need! Since it only takes 5 minutes, I want to sew one in multiple colors.
