Flower Hair Tie...

A while ago, I saw this fabulous tutorial for a flower headband, written by Cass, over at Cass Can Sew. I've had it bookmarked for ages and today, I used the tutorial to make a flower hair tie.


Do you recognise the fabric I used? That's right, it's the same as the Lucy's Little Flower dress that I showed you yesterday. I used the floral fabric to make a covered button and the polka dot is the same as the ruffle of the dress.


To attach the hair elastic:
  • Cut a small scrap of fabric.
  • Fold in half lengthwise.
  • Wrap around the elastic, leaving room for movement.
  • Sew two lines of stitching.
I didn't bother to neaten the edges, as it's on the back and won't show.


Attach the flower to the fabric scrap, by hand stitching between the two lines of stitching.


That's it; a quick and easy little project. Thanks, Cass, for sharing your tutorial...

  9. The flower hair tie you have on your blog is very endearing! How beautifully it elevates any hairstyle with a hint of elegance inspired by nature is something I adore. While I'm taking a break from delving into my Economics Dissertation Topics, it's fascinating to come across such charming accessories. Throughout my research, your blog provides a welcome diversion into the realm of beauty and creativity, which is much needed.
