Measurements for Girl’s Headbands:
Here is a quick guide on how to cut your elastic when making headbands or hair ties. Baby headband sizing, of course, can be any measurement you want, if you measure the baby/child’s head – you can simply take that measurement and cut your elastic according to that. However, here is a quick reference for “standard” measurements for girls of all ages:
Sizes we recommend for our fold over elastic, printed elastic, 3/8" elastic, 1/8" elastic:
{ Premie } 11-12″
{ Newborn } 13″
{ 0-1 Year } 14"
{ 1-6 Years} 15″
{Child-teen} 16.5″
{ Adults } 17.5″
*When cutting your elastic, we recommend cutting approximately 0.5″ larger than the recommended sizing, so you can overlap the elastic to glue or sew it together.
Stretch Lace/Glitter/Velvet Elastic Sizing
Sizes we recommend for stretch lace and glitter elastic and Velvet elastic *this is slightly larger due to the elasticity being tighter than standard elastic
{ Premie } 11.5-12.5″
{ Newborn } 13.5″
{ 0-1 Year } 14.5″
{ 1-6 Years} 15.5″
{Child-teen} 17″
{ Adults } 18″
*When cutting your elastic, we recommend cutting approximately 0.5″ larger than the recommended sizing, so you can overlap the elastic to glue or sew it together.
