This sweet accessory is perfect for a formal occasion or for every day use! Make the Annabelle flower out of either fabric or ribbon with this easy DIY tutorial. You'll learn three different techniques with just one, easy-to-read e-book! Please note this is NOT an actual book, but an electronic document that will be sent to your e-mail account as a PDF file.
You'll learn the following techniques with step-by-step instructions and 40 photographs:
*How to make the Annabelle flower out of fabric
*How to make the flower out of ribbon
*How to attach it to a clip
*How to mount your flowers to a headband - either a fold-over elastic headband for babies or a hard, skinny headband for older girls or adults
This pattern is extremely versatile, because you can use these flowers for other applications - by themselves as hair accessories, for bow centers, and on shoes, coats, purses and belts. This flower and its many variations would make a sweet addition to a boutique outfit. I've included a chart with headband sizes for various ages, in both inches and centimeters.
This pattern is for a beginner! You only need to know how cut and use a running stitch. In the book I recommend using a rotary cutter/mat for your cutting, but this can easily be done with just a ruler and scissors if you prefer. The pattern is very easy and quick -- you'll want to make these in all different variations and sizes!
