Making head wraps

I made these head wraps for drying your hair. The materials I used were towel fabric, a short length of string, and a button. From a yard of fabric I was able to make four of them. You can modify them if you wish, the emasurements I used will fit most heads.

Step 1 Get some Terry Towel Fabric

Buy some terry towel fabric, (or use an old towel) and fold fabric in half. The pattern should look like half of a teardrop. You need two of these to make the headwrap.

I made one of these out of a hand towel. I folded it lengthwise, and then cut out the shape. This eliminated the need for finishing the straight edges, was very inexpensive ( I picked up a towel at the dollar store), and also there was none of the mess that sewing terry usually makes!. I put my loop inside the towel before I sewed, eliminated one step. ( I used elastic, copying a turban I had bought). I actually find that I don't need the button, the elastic keeps the twisted towel in place.

Nice Instructable. It would be nice to see the completed head-wrap alone and being worn. It would make a nice intro picture.

I'm planning on having a picture as soon as I can locate a willing victim (ahem) model to wear the headwrap......I'll be willing to mail a sample to the first person who can send me a pic for the intro pic ....any takers?
