Hello everyone! I am khayjhay from #nigeria and I am so happy to participate in this wonderful contest created by @miftahulrizky. I would like to thank him for organizing this contest. ![20240912_212551-COLLAGE.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmY73WAKPyGbNxnyhbTt1b4oVjMPvLKGT8pJCMQ6vVntpb/20240912_212551-COLLAGE.jpg) Learning is an ongoing process and as such no one can say that he has fully acquired knowledge. We all learn everyday. Learning a skill is very crucial especially as life gets tougher. It would help us cope better as it serves as an extra source of income. I would love to share what I learnt few days ago. I got opportuned to attend a fashion design training class. The class has helped me to design simple but beautiful hair accessories. Apart from that, I learnt how to braid and makeup. Today, I would be sharing how to make a simple hair band using simple materials at home. The steps are very simple. *Materials Needed* • Needle (preferably medium sized or large) • Thread • Chalk • Measuring tape • Scissors • A fabric (this can be gotten from an old cloth) ***Step One*** Using a tape, measure the size of the person's head and record.

***Step Two*** Use a tape to record the measurement on the fabric and mark it out with a chalk.

***Step Four*** Fold the fabric sidewards into two equal parts. ***Step Five*** Gently stitch the edge of the fabric with your needle and thread. Make sure you stitch on the wrong side of the fabric. After stitching, turn the fabric to the right side. Make sure you adjust the stitching line to the middle like this 👇 ![IMG_20240910_135014_036.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSRQ9jgAYPjVcP7fuR7XEgvxz6Jt44AZ7ZW3JVGXg8zN8/IMG_20240910_135014_036.jpg)
