Make a Naruto Headband

This is an easy, quick and fun way to make a Shinobi headband resembling one from the popular anime Naruto.


1. Search the Internet for [[Be a True Naruto Fan|Naruto]] headbands to get a template, or use the link in the tips section.
2. Find or buy blue cloth (cotton works best). You can also [[Tie Dye Using Rit Powder|dye]] your cloth blue if you cannot find a blue one.
3. Cut a strip of the cloth about 3 inches wide and however long you need to wrap around your head. Leave enough extra to tie off behind your head.[[Stencil an Item Using Spray Paint|Spray paint]] the cardboard on one side only, as the paint won't help the fabric glue stick.
4. Once the paint has dried, use either your pencil, or a darker silver marker to transpose the design of your choice. Using pencil first will allow you to correct your mistakes.
5. When you are satisfied with the plate, apply fabric glue to the back of the plate and the front of your cloth band and press together firmly. Adding a phone book as a weight will improve bonding.
6. When the glue has dried per instructions on the packaging, your headband is complete.
7. Don't forget to add three holes to each side. Alternatively you could use permanent marker so that the fabric does not show through.
8. You can also use an Arizona tea can for the metal part to make it more realistic. you could also get some thumb tacks to make the screws on the side or some rime stones they add depth like a screw and cover them with a silver sharpie so they wont shine and a darker silver for the screw indentation.
