Has any of my readers started to get an idea that I may have an obsession with these Ear Warmer Headbands? I mean how many posts can a girl do, right? Well I have had so much fun making these, that today I am sharing my DIY Fur Covered EarWarmer Headband Tutorial with you.

Before you freak out, this is not real fur. This is the stuff you buy at the craft store for 8.99 for a half yard, present your 40% off coupon for, and walk out of there paying $5. It’s faux fur! And it’s WARM.

Believe it or not, this was not only simple, but also fun to make. It’s a quick and easy tutorial and I think it turned out super cute.

Here is what we are going to need for this tutorial:

  • faux fur fabric (they have a lot of really cool options!)
  • sewing machine (but you can hand sew this as well!)
  • measuring tape

How to Make a Fur EarWarmer Headband

Step 1:  Take a measuring tape and measure your head (just wrap it around your head). When I made my measurements, I came up with 22″ in length. Since this material is not stretchy and will be bulkier when folded over, I am cutting it at 24″. For the width I am cutting it at 7″.

Step 2:  Cut your material. Because of the faux furriness of this material, it will be a little messy when cutting. Cut with the liner facing up and the fur facing down (so you can see your lines).

Step 3: After you have your material cut you will fold it in half with Right Sides (Furry Sides) together.

Step 4: Once your Right Sides (Furry Sides) are together, go ahead and place a straight stitch down the side of the band.

Step 5: Turn your fabric inside out, and put your open ends together. Place two straight stitches down the ends to make sure they will stay together.

Step 6: Try on your new Fur Covered EarWarmer Headband!

    I am LOVING these photos! So awesome this week. And I didn’t freak out about the fake fur! I just got a HOT leather jacket – it’s called “vegan leather” because it’s not an animal product, but I still wonder if I’ll get glared at up here in green living land.

    On first glance I thought you’d made a hat, and was super-impressed! I tend to assume that all fur these days is fake, so I didn’t freak out either 🙂

    I think it looks really good, and pretty timely considering the awful weather that you guys are having in the US at the moment.

      Thanks Angela! Haha, well I was in Telluride over the holidays and I am pretty sure the fur around there was NOT fake, LOL. The weather and this post sure did coincide nicely!

    I love this idea, I can never find a hat to stay down over my ears so I’m going to make one of these for me – and my daughter. Love the simple instructions!

      Thanks Stephanie! This is so warm and cozy, and then you also don’t have “hat hair” later, either!!! 🙂

    This is gorgeous! I will definitely be making these for family for x-mas. It does give me an idea for an up-cycle. My husband and I bought a house that had been in his family for generations, so of course that meant “inheriting” everything noone wanted. In amongst the beautiful old church hats was a real fur coat. There is a story with it. It is not your typical fur coat but one made from a black bear that my husbands grandfather had shot in the 40’s, yes, he was one of those old timers who put meat on the table by hunting. My husbands grandmother had always wanted a fur coat but they couldn’t afford one so his grandfather had one made for her and gave it to her on x-mas. We actually have an old black and white photo of her wearing it to church service that morning. I haven’t been able to throw it away as it seems like a dis-service to the animal BUT it is very beautiful and I’m sure the women in the family would like something like your headband made out of it, if only for sentimental reasons. TY so much for the wonderful idea and instructions.

    I’m a little confused about the last step #5. you said to put the ends together? With two open edges how do you not have a lot of bulk? Could you explain a bit more? THANKS!! Looking forward to trying this!

      That’s a great question! You have to move the fur back a bit to make the stitches, and it is a little tricky. However, you shouldn’t end up with a lot of bulk. I also used a really bulky fur, so if your fur is thinner, I could see where that might make it a little bulkier. I hope you’re able to make it! I always get so many compliments when it’s cold out and I wear my furry headband.
