[Tutorial] Ribbon hair tie

I dunno does anyone remember, I said I will post a tutorial of how to make a cute little ribbon hair tie last month~~ XDDD
Cos, finally, Im doing the tutorial now!! >W<
First of all, this is what u'll need~
* Ribbon (Pink) - width 5cm
* Ribbon (Blue) - width 4cm
* Ribbon (Blue) - width 2cm
* Decorative button - x 1
* Pearl colour beads - x 7
* Hair tie - x 1
 
And of cos, basic sewing equipment~!
* Scissors    * Lighter    * Pins    * Needle and thread

When u've got all above ready, we can start~>W<
 
1) First, you can fold your pink ribbon into how big you would want it to be, then fold the blue ribbon into slightly smaller than the pink~
Mine were 12 cm(pink) and 9 cm(blue) ~~

 (Do remember to heat the ends of the ribbons slightly, cos that will get rid off the raw edges and prevent it from fraying)

 
2) Then u can put the blue on top of the pink ribbon and align them in the middle, sew a little stich in the middle to keep them still.

 
3) Very simply, in the middle, fold the ribble into a "M" shape, u can hold it with ur hand here or get a pin to hold it for u. Place ur hair tie in the dented area, sew the ribbon up so it holds a tight "M" shape.
At this point, the hair tie should be trapped in the ribbons. Do NOT sew through the hair tie, becoz when u come to tie ur hair with it, the hair tie will pull off the threads, and the ribbon will fall apart.

4) Get ur 2cm ribbon piece, cut a small piece so it is enough to wrap round ur ribbon. Cut a tiny slit in the middle of that piece of ribbon(diagram on the left), the put ur button's bulb(?) part through the little slit(see little pic on the right). Then u can sew ur button with the small ribbon piece on right in the middle of the big ribbon.

(by the way, i forgot to buy my 2cm ribbon, so I cut off a little piece from the thick ribbon instead~u can do the same if u r not picky about the edges XDDDDD Remember, all cut edges will need to be heated~!)

 
5) At the back, wrap ur riboon up with that little piece of ribbon, sew it up tightly. This is done for covering the stiching we did be4.

 
6) Finally, get ur beads, and attach it onto the ribbon, slightly in a nice little loop under the button.

 
HERE YOU GO~~ Lovely little ribbon done~~

The actually using pics are in my previous blog~~ If u are interrested>W< feel free to hv a look. I think mine were quite big, I suggest u make it smaller if u want to use it in pairs.
