How to make a precious and elegant elastic band for girls
To make pretty elastic bands for girls, you will first need to take a 6 mm wide satin ribbon and cut the edge diagonally. This will then be inserted into the needle and little by little you will then need to thread 0.6 mm beads. After inserting about twenty beads, you will need to remove the ribbon from the needle, cut the end and remove the beads.
In the meantime, you will need to cut two more satin strips, one 6 cm and one 7 cm, and cut the ribbon previously filled with beads according to these measurements. Each cut piece should contain a bead. In total, you will need to make 12 pieces of 6 cm and 10 pieces of 7 cm. The edges of each piece will then be burned and glued, folded in half.
How to do it? Simple: just cut out a small piece of felt, add hot glue, and all the small pieces of ribbon with beads you’ve previously made. These will be attached one by one to the sides.
Once finished, you will need to proceed by taking some faux suede to cut and then using a 16 cm wide template. Using this template, it will be possible to create the pattern to be cut later. The resulting pattern will be cut in half to easily find the center, then using the needle and red thread, you will need to sew right in the center and then pull it.
