Good video. I'm planning to make Ukraine-armbands for people here in Helsinki. This video was a nice guide to the basics.

Nice job bro. Btw, how do you make Polish Home Army Armbands?

Thank you! The Polish bands would be very much the same I think. Looking at originals, they were very simply and crudely made "in the field". So repros are often too well made to be authentic, curiously :)

Hello, it’s me again nine months later! I still haven’t gotten around to making an armband but yesterday night I FINALLY got the red, yellow and purple fabric needle to make it, all of which are 18x21 inch squares of cotton. My question today is, how do you close it around your arm so it is tight enough to not slide or fall off? I don’t want to sew the armband’s ends together unless I have to, so I wonder what other methods of closing there are for wearing it on your arm. I also kind of have the intention of leaving extra space for coats that are thicker. There was an Etsy listing for a repro International Brigades armlet from a guy who sold repro armbands from past wars with the description saying the armband was 16.5 inches in length and 5.75 inches in height (elongated for winter coats). The listing has been sold out for months but the info on the item remains there. Any way(s) I can close the armlet around my arm without possibly a permanent method of enclosing? Extra: any tips for making one of these armlets that consist of three strips of fabric instead of one like the one you did in this video? Thank you man!

Hello, Good to hear from you again :) Great to see that you are progressing with you armband. Probably the first choice for a closure would be a series of buttons, but it is quite time consuming work. Plus any buttons that are not in use will always be visible. I personally think a simpler method is to neatly sew the ends and use 2 safety pins to close around the arm. This way it will easily fit any size with no extra buttons showing. Hopefully that is helpful :)

How thick does the cloth of an armband have to be? (I'm making a student government armband for school)

@ChrisDenby

Cloth thickness is usually measured by it's weight per square metre. For armbands I would suggest anything above 200 grams per square metre (gsm). Anything under is too light weight I think :)

@@sushibinstwt_ That sounds great! The same techniques can definitely be used to make anything. The fabric I used was linen. Thicker cotton also works well

This looks great! Can I possibly use this to make a Spanish Republican armband, like the ones Republicans wore? (Red, Yellow and Purple)

Thank you! Yes I'm sure that the principles are the same, just strips of fabric instead of a cross :)
