Hair band tutorial and cross stitch project

  Hair band

 Sharing a second tutorial using some of the  other products I got from the lovely people at ABAKHAN. For this project I used Round Hat Elastic Black Thick  and a button from the Bag of Buttons Antique gold 50g from ABAKHAN online store.

Firstly die cut two medium size and one small flower, from the Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die from red felt. Cut a 17cm piece of round hat elastic.

 Using a glue gun layer the flower and add the button to the centre of the flower. On the reverse add some glue and attach the hat elastic and then add some more glue and cover the join with a small piece of fabric. You could use some more felt but I used a piece of fabric I had on hand. Once the hat elastic is cut you will need to stop it from fraying by burning the edges. Do take care using a real flame when doing this, as fire burns. 

 

 This is the finished head bank and it works really well. Hope you have a go at making it. 

Would also like to share the completed Anchor Baby Pouch which was another product from ABAKHAN.

 

You do get some patterns with the pouch. I used Anchor threads and  a few of the patterns.  Had doing some cross stitch again. Coming down with something, not been feeling great, so doing this little pouch was a good way to rest but be productive.

Thank you for the visit and hope you are all keeping warm and safe.
