If you’re like me, whenever you see something made out of fabric at the dollar store you see it more as a source of fabric than as the actual item on the shelf. I love that when Nancy from Kibbles ‘N Knits spied some stretch fabric book covers for $1 each, she fell for the cute prints and patterns and snagged a stack of them to turn into something else. They ended up being the perfect thing to use for making headbands! You won’t believe how easily you can make this transformation. Even if you’ve never tried sewing before, you’ll be able to whip one up in minutes. It’s that simple! [how to turn a book cover into a headband]
Project estimate:
- Stretchy fabric book cover, $1
- Needle and thread: on hand
Total: $1

Great Idea!!! You can actually get these book covers at WalMart for under 60 cents each when they put out all the back to school stuff!! Just picked up four of them and now I have a quick lil project for this weekend!
