What you need:
2- safety pins
6- strips of fabric about 18'' long (can add more strips depending how many bands you want)
1- 6'' piece of elastic
sewing machine
1. gather 3 strips of fabric.
2. pin together ends.
3. braid together.
4. repeat steps 1-3 for remaining 3 strips of fabric.
5. lay both braids side by side with ends matching together.
6. straight stitch ends together.
7. snip excess fabric and repeat for the other end (braided bands should be about 15-16'' in length).
8. take your elastic and sew into one end of the braid and repeat on the other end.
(what the braided band looks like when done sewing)
9. wear then go out and have fun! enjoy...

Oh this is CUTE! I will have to try it out. My daughter especially loves headbands, especially for school, and these would be so easy to make in school colours and wash in the machine. I love the necklace idea for me...hair too short.
Y'know, you could stitch smaller fabric scraps together in strips (patchwork-style) if you haven't got scraps long enough.
Thanks heaps - obsession coming on here too!
