RIBBON - Any size will do. Also, you can utilize as many different ribbons as you desire. For this instance I will be utilising 3. To begin out, I might recommend employing just one ribbon until you obtain the technique down. THREAD - Find a color to match the ribbon that you are currently using. FRENCH PINCH BARRETTE - I would personally recommend using a smaller barrette – I employed a 2 1/4Andrdquo; barrette for this illustration. NEEDLE - Any kind of needle will do.
Instructions:
Step 1
Remove the metal piece in the inside of the barrette. Set it away.
Step 2
Get your thread and needle ready. You will need 4 strands of thread inside your needle and they will need to be all around 48 in . long Andndash; or simply spread your arms out as far as they may cut and go the line to that length. Make sure you placed a knot at the end of the thread.
Step 3
Seal off the stops of your ribbon with no matter what method you favor – I applied a lighter in weight. Depending on how big your loops are and how many loops you have, depends on how much ribbon you need –and it's very hard to gauge that amount. So, don't cut a certain amount of ribbon off the spool just yet.
Step 4
A. Place them on top of each other as shown if you're making use of more than one ribbon.
B. Take you thread and needle through the ribbon – about a quarter of an in . from the end.
C. Line it all the way through until the knot stops behind.
Step 5
Place the ribbon on the back of the barrette as displayed. You can start at either side Andndash; it truly doesn't matter.
Step 6
Take a stitch through the hole at the end of the barrette. Recurring on the other side. Draw tightly after each stitch.
Step 7
From this level forward till the very end, you will not have to hold onto the needle Andndash; merely the thread.
Place the line a couple of times throughout the barrette along with the ribbon – just inside the barrette next to the springtime as demonstrated in the picture.
Step 8
A. Change the barrette over so that the flat area of the barrette is at the top.
B. Take up a loop – any size that you wish. The bigger the loop, the taller the bow.
Step 9
Now you need to take the line and place it throughout the barrette a few times, pulling a bit each time.
Ensure that you squeeze the ribbon with each other over the top of the barrette so that the ribbon doesn't collapse over to the bottom of the barrette.
Step 10
A. Before you pull also tightly, you need to spread the loops out slightly. Then, wrap the thread throughout the barrette a few more periods, this time tugging very snugly.
B. Push the loop to the finish of the barrette so that you can make room for more loops.
Step 11
Make another loop. This time position the loop downward or upward if you wish.
For this instance, I angled it downwards as shown, then upwards the next time. Make sure you pull the ribbons separate, making the bow much more full.
Carry on in this manner until finally you get to the final of the barrette.
Step 12
Once you've reached the conclusion of the barrette, take your scissors and clip the tails of the ribbon. Then, use your desired method of sealing the ends.
Just be cautious if you're using a lighter in weight. It might be simpler to use the water fray check for this.
Move 13
A. Turn the bow on the bottom in order that the underside from the barrette is showing.
B. At this point, I really like to take several of the remaining line and sew forth and back again on the barrette at an position until I reach the opposite side. See the photo below as a reference.
C. Take up several stitches with the tie and finish a knot to safe.
Step 14
I like to get it done because it provides the bow a far more finished appearance, even though this Step is recommended.
A. Lower a piece of ribbon to fit the inside of the barrette and close off the finishes.
B. Adhesive the ribbon to the inside the barrette.
C. Put the aluminum piece rear inside the barrette.
