Supplies

Decide on your color scheme and then get started.
Stiffen ends of elastic with white glue. Let Dry.
Slide the first two yellow beads to the middle of elastic. Then string 1 yellow , 1 black, and 1 yellow on to one side of the elastic (this is for the example shown). Using the other side of the elastic, string through the last three beads in reverse order. Pull snug. Continue with the third row until you have enough to go around your head.
Finish by forming headband into a circle and lacing back through the first beads. Tie off.
Put a drop of white glue on the knot. Let dry and trim.
