Three ways to use Scarves as Headbands

Hi my beautiful friends,

Here is something for your weekend !! A tutorial to use your favourite scarves as headbands. This is my first attempt at doing tutorials, so any comment on improvements is welcome. I have styled 3 different scarves to create 3 different headband looks.



This is a step by step tutorial with photos added wherever possible. Try to follow them and let me know if you were able to create the same looks :)

All the three headbands are very easy to create.

So let's start!! It is better if you have your hair tied in a ponytail while tying the headbands and later you can style it the way you want.

1. Knotted headband

What you will need : Rectangle medium length scarf with lighter material.

Steps :
  • Fold it to get the desired width.

  • Bring the ends to the front and cross them over.

  • Cross the ends one more time.

  • Tie the ends at the back.

  • Secure it with one more knot.

  • Tuck in the loose ends.

  • Fan out the headband to get the desired look.
I have used this look in the outfit post here 


2. Simple headband

This one is the easiest.

What you will need : Small square scarf, any material

Steps :



  • Take a square scarf.

  • Fold it in half as shown.

  • Decide the width of the headband you need and fold it again.

  • Repeat the folding until you get something like this.


  • Bring the ends of the scarf behind the back of your head and tie a knot.

  • Tie one more knot to secure it. That's it !!

  • You can tuck in the loose ends of the scarf into the headband or leave it as it is. 


3. Bow Headband (Minnie Mouse headband inspired )

What you will need : Medium length rectangular scarf with thick material.

Steps :

  • Decide the width of the headband you need and fold the scarf as shown.

  • Place the scarf on the head and bring the ends to the back.

  • If your scarf is long, tie a knot at the back. This step is optional.


  • Bring the ends of the scarf to the front and tie a knot.

  • Tie one more knot to create a bow. Move the bow to the side.
  • You can create a bigger bow, get it in the center to get the Minnie Mouse headband look :)

For all the above steps make sure you have equal length of scarf on both the ends.

I hope the steps are simple to follow, do try them out and let me know which one is your favourite. Share your comments :)
