DIY Knotted T-Shirt headband

I love working out but I also want to be stylish while I'm doing it. With these headbands, everyone will be wondering where you got it, but little do they know that you made it yourself. I've been seeing these all over and have been wanting to make them for a long time. They were so easy to make and only took about 10-15 minutes of my time. 

You'll need: An old tshirt 

                   Scissors/Rotary cutter 

                   Quilting mat 

*Just as a tip, for a smaller knot, you'll want to cut a thinner strip (1-1/2") and for a bigger knot, you'll want a wider strip (3"). Here's the difference between both.

I started off by cutting straight across right below the armpits of the shirt so I have a big rectangle of fabric like this: 

Then you're going to want to cut your strips and stretch 'em out. 

Once they're stretched out, take the first strip and put it so there's a loop at the tol and the right side is over the left. 

Now take the second strip and lay it on top of the first with the ends pointing up. Take the right side of the first strip and put it over the right side of the seconds strip. 

Super simple. Let's keep going by taking the left side of the second strip and putting it under the loop. Just like this:

This step and the next one are the most important parts because if you accidentally mess up, you won't get the knot that you want. You want to make sure that you take the RIGHT second strip that is pointing up and put it under the LEFT second strip. 

Now all you'll have to do is pull on all four corners and you'll have your knot. 

After you have your knot, cut another strip and cut one end so it isn't a circle and is pretty long. In the end it may be too long and you'll want to cut it shorter, but for now I kept mine because I'm going to stick it through both ends on one side and both ends on the other side like this. 

Now all you have to do is tie it however tight you want it when it is on. That's it! Super easy. And if you want, you can just connect all four ends and glue a piece of fabric in the middle so they're connected and will stay.
