If you're a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, then you'll love this easy craft project that allows you to show your support for the team and their fearless leader. All you need is a few basic supplies, some creativity, and a little bit of time to create this fun and unique piece.

To get started, gather the following materials:

  • Black construction paper
  • Brown construction paper
  • Chiefs sticker OR printed image OR freehand/traced design
  • Scissors
  • Tape and/or glue (or could even use a stapler)
  • Toilet or paper towel roll for curling the "hair" OR just use your hands to curve the paper


Once you have your supplies, follow these simple steps:

  • Cut a lengthwise strip of black construction paper and measure it to fit around the wearer's head. Attach the end pieces at the desired length with tape, glue, or staples.
  • Create the hair using brown construction paper. Cut a half circle that fits snugly inside one end of the headband, then cut thin strips of brown paper for the strands of hair. Glue the bottom of each strip to the rounded side of the brown half circle. Use your fingers to curve the top of the brown strips or wrap them around a paper roll to create the curls.
  • Attach the straight edge of the brown half circle to the top of the black headband where you want the hair to be.
  • Take your Chiefs sticker or a printed/colored image and attach it to the headband just below the hairline. Allow the glue to dry completely.
  • Put on your new Mahomes headband, declare yourself an official "Mahomie," and show your KC Chiefs pride while cheering on our beloved team! Go, Chiefs!
  • Wear it proudly to your next Chiefs game or watch party!

Don't be intimidated by the steps – the finished product is easier to create than it sounds, and the photo can guide you along the way!
