This headband is about the cutest thing ever. What is even better is that it is made with old tshirts and you can use any old tshirts that you want. If your kids outgrow something, you can upcycle for another purpose and that is exactly what we did here. Or head to your local thrift store to pick out tees in some of your favorite colors.
