A Tutorial: Fabulous Ric Rac Flowers » Matilda Jane Clothing Rocks. Let me start out with a warning or sorry of some sort. The warning is because I have never done a Tutorial before, so I hope this is helpful and easy to follow. The sorry is for how horrible my nails look. I promise I did them after looking through these pics. WOW! I thought I would start off with a Flower, I too, just learned how to make. The prep time is seconds as opposed to other styles and Ric Rac trim is super easy to get at any craft supply store. If you are like me the color of Ric Rac you want to use will be the hardest part, I promise.
Material: Time-Roughly 20 minutes about 28 inches of Ric Rac ( This will make a flower about 2 inches in diameter) Suggestion: The thicker the Ric Rac the better Felt (Any Color) One sheet will be fine depending on how many flowers you want to make. Optional: Hair Clips, leaves or buttons Step One: Take the two pieces and hot glue them together. Note: You want to glue them together as if they are a mirror of one another. Pretty right? Cute right? Kayla. Googly Eye Shoes. Scrap-Pieced Belt…(Use Up Those SCRAPS!!)
Are you overwhelmed with scraps? Or do you have small pieces of your favorite fabrics that you’ve been saving for the “perfect” project? I have another little project that I made for Bernina’s We All Sew site……..which used some some of my favorite vivid fabric scraps. All sorts of little pieces of fabric……pieced together into a new little belt. Great for girls……..and even boys. Just think of all the possibilities you can come up with when you peek into your scrap box. Such a great way to use up what you have. For the full Scrap-Pieced Belt tutorial, here. And enjoy.
