How to Make a Naruto Style Headband

My son and daughters, (as well as I) love Naruto and they all love to dress up and pretend to be characters from the anime.

I however, am not one to buy something I can just make for myself, so when they wanted Naruto headbands, I started thinking.

I knew they would soon want different village designs, so I came up with this way to make a very low cost Naruto headband.

Step 1 What you need

• Soda or Tea Can (I like my Arizona Green Tea)
• Scissors
• Printed copy of one of the pictures below
• Paper Fasteners (Brads)
• Tape
• Needle
• Sharpie, Black
• Strip of black or blue cloth
• Thread
• Glue (go gorilla!)
• Silver Spray Paint

dude you just saved me 7 dollars

[WurdBendur]

Here's an idea: cut the symbol out of the metal and place another piece behind it, to hold islands in place and give it depth.

[Moennet]

lol thats the same thing I'm doing! ^o^

[laminterious]

I could... but as these are for my kids,I dont want to rick them getting cut on it..

You, of course, realize that real ninja would take all precautions necessary to blend in and not be detected and that wearing an armored headband depicting your nationality would ruin that effect. Also, bright orange jumpsuits = not stealthy. In short, the anime/manga, Naruto, is a horrible depiction of ninja and should be dragged out into the street and shot.

true dat i hate naruto but my friend likes (he gets made fun of alot)

[tomoyajosefboehm]

you do realize that they didnt even were headbands that had villages right and naruto isnt based on a real stary right?

[Steamdnt]

not to mention the Fact that there twelve and throwing kuni knives, Ive seen a real one, There was now way you could throw that accurately, also there were used as hidden knives rather than a throwing knife.

[Bisquick the ninja]

WOW!! YOU'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A REAL KUNAI!??!?! seriously dude. You should stick to commenting on stuff you know about. You can throw a kunai accurately! Ever herd the saying practice makes perfect? It's a crtoon for crying out loud! If you hold the kunai in the middle it doesn't spin unless you are really far away from your target. Naruto rocks!!

[lupinesoul]

That's another thing! Next thing you know they'll be wanting sharp things and want to go around kicking people, yelling "Believe it!" When I was his age, I was playing "Hello Kitty! Island Adventure". Now there's a constructive bit of fun!

[Steamdnt]

"Butters go to the store and buy World of Warcraft before we kill you" That episode was hilarious

[Iridium7]

" butters I'm the dwarf" " but there's only 4 races to choose form" "Log out choose a new race and log back in." I like Hello Kitty Island Adventure better than this."

[bowmaster]

YES!!!! Finally someone who totally agrees with me!

[master-of-chaos]

But it is stealthy if he is lets say, trying to blend into a group of electrical workers.

[Bisquick the ninja]

Yeah i don't get the orange jump suit idea.

nice steal that off of a picture

[master-of-chaos]

It was a joke from a motivator, I will admit.

[lupinesoul]

Or convicts. xD

[Bisquick the ninja]

LOL!!! :9

[konoha village]

naruto cn wear what he wants to where u should be shot trying to sound smart and what not

[lupinesoul]

Sure, he can wear what he wants, but in the real world, he'd be dead.

[ToshiroKakuzu]

so true just take a gun and use him as a live target

[baneat]

It's a parallel universe where ninja's aren't lowlife scum that roam the streets stabbing people for a few coins.

[Bisquick the ninja]

You know whats goin on!!

[lupinesoul]

But I like the low-life scum kind of ninja! D:

[unpicky]

yeh!!!!!!!! you rock!!!!!!!!!!

[laminterious]

You have some strange ideas about ninjas. *shrug*

[lupinesoul]

I consider plainly obvious strange for a ninja. What's wrong with that?

[tomwsmf]

Great instructable. One of my kids is bound to get into Naruto sooner or later and this will come in hand And to our resident ninja expert.....Naruto is make believe, you did realize that before you went off on your "real ninja" rant..right?? Keep on making the diy kids stuff. .

[lupinesoul]

I'm no ninja expert. It's common knowledge. I realize it's "make-believe", but it's putting the wrong ideas of ninja in ignorant childrens' heads.

[laminterious]

Because, saying that ninja's wear what is hollywood's take on their clothing, namely all black, then you must think that wearing all black in the middle of day is stealthy? Only at night when the moon isnt out, sure. Because ninjas wore whatever they could and whatever made sense at the time. Pretending to be an old lady, or a servant, or whatever to get them closer to their mark to finish the job is what they wore, even if it meant wearing flannel.

[imaninja!]

oh and is a coke can good enough for this?

[ioniafreak]

i used a peace tea can XD it should work as long as its aluminum
