DIY hairpins and elastic bands for beginners

If you are a beginner, you should start creating exclusive jewelry with simple models.. To do this, you can use a click-clack hairpin or an elastic band.

How to make a simple hairpin

To create an exclusive hairpin we will take rep ribbon, 2.5 cm wide and ribbon 1.5 cm wide with a contrasting pattern (can be plain, in a suitable color), braid 0.5 cm wide and 2 cm long.

• We cut the ribbons 10 cm long, fold them in half lengthwise and sew them along the width from the inside out.
• Having turned the workpieces inside out, we place the seams in the center so that as a result they are hidden by a transverse fold or button. It will become the core of the bow.
• We tighten the blanks, each separately, in the center with a thread and place the thinner blank on the wider one.
• We fasten the parts together with thread.
• To create a beautiful core, we take braid. We wrap the ribbon blanks in the center with braid (at the place where the ribbons are fastened). We sew the braid on the reverse side.

You can decorate the center of the bow with beads, a beautiful button or a decorative stone. It is glued using superglue with a glue gun. The resulting bow is placed on the wide part of the creek-crack hairpin.

Chamomile

Chamomile is suitable for such a hairpin or for a crocodile.

• We cut white braid 0.5 cm wide into 10 cm pieces, 16 pieces in total.
• Fold each piece in half. We collect 8 petals on a thread at the cut points, lightly gather them and fasten them into a circle.
• We make the other 8 petals in the same way.
• We place one blank on top of the other so that the petals of the second row are between the petals of the first row.
• Let's prepare the base. Cut out two circles from yellow felt, 2.5–3 cm in diameter.
• We secure the two tiers together with thread or fabric glue. Apply the resulting chamomile to the front side of the base.
• We also glue a felt circle on top.
• We decorate the core of the daisy with yellow beads or beads. You can fill the entire circle, or you can sew just the edge of the felt in a circle.

The flower is ready, it can be glued to the hairpin.

IMPORTANT! When making hairpins, pay attention to denim, velvet, drape, leather and other materials. With their help, hairpins are created for a specific bow.

Bow

In specialized stores you can purchase special tapes ready for crafts. They do not need to be processed around the edges. Just fold the bow and secure the middle. In the future, use your creativity by decorating the crossbar and edges with beads or rhinestones. Glue or thread will help secure the resulting bow to the elastic band.

Flower

• Take a transparent tape 5 cm wide, 50 cm long.
• Burn the edges of the tape with a lighter so that they do not fray.
• Make small stitches from one edge along the entire length of the ribbon and at the end pull the entire ribbon into a bun. You will get a rose.
• Sew or glue a large bead into the middle.
• Make blanks from satin ribbon of a contrasting color 20 cm long. Place stitches along the entire length of the blank and gather them.
• Place the previously obtained fluffy bun on a satin blank and secure with thread. For better fastening, you can add fabric glue. The flower is attached to the elastic band with glue.

Having made your first hairpin, you will definitely get a taste for it and will probably use only homemade accessories.
