Your hairstyle must be low so that the turban can easily fit around it.
The base of the triangle will be against the nape of your neck. Make sure that the majority of your hair is covered by the triangle. If it’s not, you will need to try using a large scarf that is able to cover more of your hair.
The central point of the triangle should still be hanging over your forehead, and it will be located in center of this knot.
Make sure that this knot is also secure and tight. Overall, there will be 2 knots in your turban. The first will be at the front, and the second will be at the base of your head.
This means that if you’re head circumference was 22 in (56 cm), your final measurement will be 28 in (71 cm).
Use pins to hold the folded fabric together while you are measuring it out. For example, if your final head measurement was 28 in (71 cm), your rectangle on the fabric will be 28 in × 4. 5 in (71 cm × 11 cm). While any fabric will do, a thicker, jersey type material is best. You can also use the fabric from an old t-shirt if you prefer. [7] X Research source Approximately 36 in (91 cm) will work well for making a few headbands, depending on the width of the fabric.
Remove the pins holding the fabric together once you have finished cutting out the rectangle.
Keep the fabric folded in half as you tie it around your head to make the headband thicker. The knot will create a bow-like shape just above your forehead.
The opposite edge of the scarf should brush against the nape of your neck.
If a small flap of material appears just above the knot at the back of your head, gently tuck it into the knot so that it doesn’t stick up.
After you have made the loop, spread it out like a fan. This will be 1 side of the bow that you are making.
Also fan this loop out to create the other half of the bow.
Make sure that you tuck in each loose end tightly to keep your turban secure.
You can use real flowers if you prefer, otherwise artificial flowers will also work well as they will last for many future costumes!
