Ho ho ho...Here is the 'Step-by-step guide on 'How to Make a Christmas Hairband'. And this is my early Christmas gift to all :)
Materials:
Scissors, acrylic felt (white & red), felt marker, needle, thread, glue (E6000 or UHU), black hairband and scallop scissors (optional).
Materials:
Scissors, acrylic felt (white & red), felt marker, needle, thread, glue (E6000 or UHU), black hairband and scallop scissors (optional).
Steps (with pictures shown below):
- First, draw 6 circles on the red felt (diameter: 6 cm).
- Cut them out.
- You will get 6 red circles. Put 2 of them aside.
- Take 4 of them. Fold it in half.
- Then, fold again.
- As shown in the picture.
- Using a needle and a red thread, sew it few times at the tip (holding all the layers) and make a knot.
- Repeat steps 4-7 until you get four petals.
- Now, get ready the white felt and draw a circle (diameter: 4.5 cm).
- As shown in the picture.
- Cut it out and put aside.
- Draw another white circle (diameter: 6 cm).
- As shown in the picture.
- Use a pair of scallop scissors and cut slowly at about 3 to 4 mm away from the circle. (If you don't have the scallop scissors, don't worry, you can always draw the wavy line and cut it carefully).
- Take the four petals (from no. 8), sew it onto the white scalloped-circle.
- Repeat for all four.
- Now, get the 2 red circles (from no. 3). Fold it in half.
- Fold it again, 1/3 to the front (as shown in the picture).
- Fold it again, this time 1/3 to the back (refer to the picture).
- You will get something like a 'S' shaped petal.
- Sew it at the tip, holding all the layers together.
- Then, sew it to the centre of the white scalloped-circle with the 4 petals (no. 15).
- Stitch it nicely at the centre and end it with a knot. Repeat steps 17-23 for the second petal.
- Now, you will get a nice red Christmas peony!
- Turn to the back.
- Apply some glue to it, make sure you glue the knot and the stitches.
- Place the black hairband to it, at the desired position. Hold it carefully for few minutes.
- Then, get the smaller piece of white circle (from no. 11) and apply some glue on it.
- Put it onto the back of the peony (no. 27). Press nicely and leave it for 10 minutes to let it dry.
- Now, your Christmas Hairband is DONE! Simple and nice, right?
Enjoy and Blessed Christmas!
