Hi all, sorry it's been a little while since I blogged last.
There are just so
many wonderful things to make and share but not
always enough time to do it all!
All that said, today I had a little time up my sleeve and
decided to try my hand at making my own hair clips.
It was a fun and easy task with a pretty hair clip
for my church outfits as a result.
First of I went looking for some leftover bits and pieces
to make my hair clip out of.
I found a short bit of lace, a thick bobby pin
and a pearl bead. With my supplies I headed to my
sewing room for a pair of scissors, a needle and thread.
Step Two
After threading my needle I folded back one end of the lace onto it's self and stitched it down giving me a nice edge to work with.
Step Three
I then weaved my needle through the bottom of my piece of lace so that I could gather it. (NOTE, If you want to use a piece of fabric, just do big stitches along the bottom).
I kept weaving, checking every now and then if I had gone far enough by pulling on my thread and gathering the lace. When my lace formed a nice flower-like circle when I gathered it, I knew I had gone far enough.
Once I stitched down my end I put in a few more stitches to hold everything together.
Whoolah! A pretty flower.
Step Six
Step Seven
From there I simply stitched my flower onto my bobby pin, making sure it was tightly stitched and secured on.
(NOTE, You could also glue it on)
