DIY head bow
Sorry for skipping last week's video ^^' Today I made a small and simple bow, since I've got many requests on small, easy and cheap accessories. This fits all thee categories! I got the grosgrain ribbon for about two dollars, the charms were a bit over a dollar and the alligator clip I got a while ago, I got about 50 clips for two or three dollars. So cheap, so easy! But still cute and pretty ^^ Here's the tutorial.

That's really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make a red grosgrain ribbon clip in that style myself ^_^
Could I ask where you get your alligator clips from please?
(It's hard to find ones in my country that are not huge!)
Aww thank you :)
DeleteI bought mine from ebay, though it was a while ago and the seller doesn't have them anymore. I quickly made a search, and these look good: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pc-Single-Prong-Metal-Alligator-Clips-Hair-Korker-Bow-HOT-/261204536719?hash=item3cd100ed8f . They are 4,4cm long, mine are 4,2cm so they're about the same size, and it has 12 clips for about 60cents :) Or this one, it has different sizes to choose from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12x-Hair-clips-Accessories-Barrette-Silver-Prong-Crocodile-Alligator-findings-/331080837385?var=&hash=item4d15f4a909
I hope this helped! ^^
Tosi suloinen! ^___^
ReplyDeleteKaiken ei tarvii olla aina niin super kallista tai hankalaa, että näyttää hyvälle. Tulipa fiilis tehdä rusetteja! :P

Kiitos! ^^ Nopeet pikkuprojektit on niin kivoja, tulee onnistumisen tunne ja kartuttaa asustevarastoa - mitä ei siis koskaan voi olla liikaa :D
DeleteAsusteita saa kyllä tosi halvalla tehtyä :) itse hyödynnänä pitsienjämät ja nauhat, vanhat korut (esim. korvikset, joista toinen pari on hukassa) ja tietty Ebay:stä saa lähes ilmaiseksi askartelumatskuja ^^ Tosi nätti rusetti!
ReplyDeleteNiimpä! Itekin uhrasin korvikset silinterille, vanhan kaulaketjun kettingiksi ja etsin aina tuunattavaa matskua. Jämät on ihanteellista asustemateriaalia, tulee samalla tehtyä mätsääviä juttuja. :)
DeleteMay I ask where you bought the charms? I can only find really cheaply made charms in my local crafts shops and there are not so many lolita-related motifs...
ReplyDeleteI love your tutorials, they are always interesting to see!
I am reading all my blogs on my mobile phone on my way to work, so I never watch the videos you linked immediately. Instead, I watch a bunch of your videos together some time later at home.
Therefore, I would like to see tutorials with description and pictures in your blog, but I can fully understand that it would be too much work for you to provide a tutorial in two ways (video and written). So my suggestion would be, if you could include a little more of the video in your blog. For example listing an overview of all the steps and materials, or a special hint that you share in the video or a picture of the pattern on paper for the skirt tutorial.
By the way, will you attend the lolita teaparty in October in Vienna...? ;)
I got these at a local crafty store, they don't have a website... It's mostly just luck, some interior decoration stores around me also have some crafty items I buy.
DeleteHmm, I think I can do more detailed tutorials here as well :) Most of my audience is in Youtube (because I have random cat / book / game things here as well, this is more for me and I put whatever I want in here, whereas my Youtube is lolita only) so I kind of never even thought about making more detailed tutorials here as well instead of just linking the video. I thought that videos would be handier for those who don't understand English that well (or my butchering of it) since I'm showing what I do, but I understand that sometime it would be easier (and definitely faster) to just read a bit and look at photos, perhaps kind of skim the whole thing before deciding it it's worth more detailed attention.
So I think I could write some written info as well. :) The major steps, required materials, patterns and some progress photos. Sometimes I won't be able to take a photo of a step if I filmed the whole thing, but them maybe I could take a screenshot? The written tutorial would be of course shorter than me writing down everything I say, but I could jot down the key points and tips. ^^ I'm currently in the process of making an A-line tiered skirt which will probably be my next tutorial, and since I've already started the project and cut the fabric, I can't photo those steps but can otherwise make it the first written tutorial as well.
TL;DR I didn't know there was an audience to written tutorials, but sure I could! ^^
You completely understood my point, so cool: Kind of skim the content of the tutorial, and if some parts are interesting, watch the video later on the PC at home.
DeleteI am already familiar with sewing and how to make and modify clothes, so I would usually not watch a complete skirt-making-tutorial. But I am always interested to see how other people make "difficult" things like attaching the waist band, creating ruffles and to learn tipps and tricks. ;)
It might be possible to make a picture from a videos later with the editing program. Something like "store this frame of the video as jpg". I have also heard that some cameras allow to take a picture while the video is recording.
I think your English (grammar and pronounciation) is great! I also like listening to your voice.
I am looking forward to the new written tutorials!
Thank you so much for taking my feedback into consideration!
Thank you for the suggestion, I'm always happy to improve and try new things :D And thank you for your kind words <3
