Ribbon Headbands
Yes, that would be hot-pink velvet ribbon ... Would you believe that I accidentally found velvet ribbon at Walmart, of all places? It was purely accidental. They have several colors available, too, pre-packaged. 
And a double-ribbon headband. I used leftover purple grosgrain ribbon from Spenser's Easter bonnet. This might be a favorite.
Details on the headbands:
The ribbon is 15 1/2" long and the elastic is 4". I turned over the raw edge of the ribbon (twice) and sewed the elastic along the "hem." Repeat for the other edge.
For the double-ribbon headband I cut two lengths of ribbon, sewed them together at the bottom on a slight angle, and then continued to attach the elastic.
Spenser is three and has a tiny head. Sawyer is 18 months and they are a little big for him. You may need to adjust the length of the ribbon to fit the size of the head.
These are quick and easy. The only problem I had was keeping it moving through my feed dogs. Good luck with that.

I was just thinking I could use a headband since I am 2 weeks from next hair cut and getting a little shaggy.
I once used some fabric scraps and bits of elastic and made pony tail holders, those were pretty easy too.
I still don't have much success with Munchkin in terms of tying her hair up or putting a hairclip. 99% of the time, she yanks it off anyway so I don't know why I bother. At least Spenser lets you put the headband on!
And what a pretty model!
i may have to make some for lidia. i still have lots of ribbon from the outlet.
These are darling, Lera...! :)
to minimize fray on ribbon ends you can hold the end near a flame. don't touch it to the flame, but you will see it starting to melt a bit which seals the ends nicely. I use that when making hair bows. :)
