HAIR BAND

Send

Spring is the most beautiful time of the year. After a long hibernation, everything around begins to come to life. At this time of the year I want to look special. Change heavy winter sweaters and jeans for a bright flowing dress, loose hair and decorate them with a spring rim. The original hair band can be made at home with your crayfish.
In order to make the rim, we need the following materials:
1. The fabric is yellow;
2. turquoise fabric;
3. paper;
4. compasses;
5. threads;
6. needle;
7. Partnership pins;
8. yarn for knitting yellow;
9. candle.
The basis for the manufacture of the rim is the idea of burning fabric on a candle. Therefore, the result of work will depend on the correct choice of fabric. It is very important to choose a fabric that lends itself well to firing - these are thin fabrics containing artificial fibers. When firing, the edge of the fabric should curl up and form plastic balls or a crust. Also, when using two fabrics, their colors should be well combined with each other with your outfit and image.
We will divide our work into several steps.
Step 1. Preparation of templates.
On thick paper using a compass, draw two circles with a diameter of 6 and 5 cm. Cut them out. In the absence of a compass, you can circle any round object. The size of the future flower depends on the size of the circles.

Step 2. Harvesting flower petals.
Using the prepared templates, we cut out: five yellow petals with a diameter of 5 and 6 cm from yellow fabric, ten petals with a diameter of 5 and 6 cm from turquoise fabric. On each petal we make incisions of 5 - 7 pieces with a depth of 0.7 - 1.0 cm. Not try to make the same cuts on the petals, the more bizarre their shape, the more beautiful the flower. We burn each petal on a candle. When firing, direct the petals inward, if you overexposed the edge of the petal and a black cinder has formed on it, you can trim it and singe the petal again. If it’s not very convenient for you to work with candles, then you can replace it with a lighter.

Step 3. Assembling the petals.
We lay out the petals in colors and sizes from larger to smaller. Sew in the middle. In order for the flower petals to fit more tightly together and the flower to look more magnificent, fold it in half with the petals inward and sew through it with several stitches, forming a pinch. In this way we harvest three flowers: one yellow and two turquoise.

Step 4. The final stage is the assembly of the rim.
The bezel will be attached to the head with a braided cord. To do this, weave a braid from yellow knitting threads. The thickness of the weave should be approximately 0.5 - 0.7 cm. If the threads are thin, then they can be folded in several rows. It is better to take the length with a margin of 90 - 95 cm, while weaving it will decrease. We try on a woven cord, determine the necessary length and location of flowers, usually it is shifted to the left or right from the center. Sew flowers tightly to each other, yellow in the center, turquoise around the edges.
