Most people I know on Pinterest have collected pages and pages of inspiration but have not yet had a chance to actually do anything with the inspiration. Well. Today I actually did a project I found on Pinterest and I liked how it turned out!

| Here is the pin that caught my eye today. |
Today was one of those days when I just didn't seem to have the time to wash my hair in the morning. It's getting quite long and I really wanted a headband to keep it out of my face. But, the majority of my headbands don't actually work. Does anyone else have a collection of useless headbands?
I thought about how my favorite headbands are the fabric ones with a little bit of stretch, like a favorite t-shirt. And the light bulb went off! I hopped on Pinterest and searched "headband t-shirt" and several options popped up. I chose to follow the tutorial from the Make It & Love It blog that several people had pinned.
Luckily, I just happen to have several old t-shirts that are too short for my tastes. I chose to use the red one with the white stripes.

I didn't take any pictures of the process because I was busy watching Downtown Abbey on Netflix while I happily braided my headband. But here is the finished product!

The tutorial was well written and easy to follow. I enjoyed learning the 5-strand braiding technique and will probably make more of these. My only complaint is that the headband turned out a bit bulky at the base of my head where it was all joined together. But that probably has more to do with my clumsy sewing technique than the tutorial itself.
So what have you made from Pinterest lately?
