Make it: Fall Hair Ribbons

I found these felt leaves at Hobby Lobby and knew I could make something cute with them!



I decided to do cute hair thingies. They will work for all of October & November, Halloween & Thanksgiving.

You can make these too (in about 5 minutes!) with these supplies:



ribbon
felt leaves or other fall decoration from the craft store
giant needle or tailor's awl (I used a dollmaker's needle {no, I don't make dolls...not yet anyway...hmmm}, but just use the biggest needle of any kind that you have)
Fray Check or superglue

Here's what you do:
Poke the needle through the leaf. Go back & forth a bunch of times and move it around in circles to try to get your hole big enough for the ribbon to go through.


Cut at least 18 inches of ribbon for each one. My girl has skinny hair so 18 inches was enough.


Make sure your ribbon is cut on an angle and thread just the very end of it (not the whole ribbon) through the eye of the needle.


Poke needle through leaf and try to pull ribbon through. This part is tough. It took me a few tries. Once you can get just the tiniest bit of the ribbon through,

you can now grab the ribbon with your fingers and pull it through to center the leaf on the ribbon.

But now the edges of your ribbon are screwed:


So cut the ends off


and grab your Fray Check (or superglue).


Put the tiniest bit on the ends of your ribbons...


...and you're done!


Now tie them in that cutie's hair...


...and let her frolic outside in the leaves!

{once they start falling!}

Happy Crafting!
