These are of course, horrendously easy!
1. Cut yourself a little rectangle and a smaller strip out of felt. I used: rectangle - 5.5 cm by 3.5 cm and strip 3.5 cm by 1 cm

2. Use a running stitch up the centre of the rectangle to ruche it up by pulling the thread tight once stitched. I used a double row of stitches to add strength.

3. Take the little strip of felt and wrap it around the ruched rectangle, stitching it to itself at the back of the bow. Make sure this is relatively tight also.

4. Sew or glue your kirby grips on - i sewed at three points so that my stitches wouldn't come off the hair slides.

I made 2 yesterday and I'm happy with the result
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my blog with a link to yours
do you have more tutorials for hair accesoires??
I just made one of these - my only comment is that I would have thought that the bobby pin is better for me if sewn up the other way - i.e. with the flat side down - what do you think? maybe we use them differently here... ;)
