Grace Collection #1: Stylish Chiffon Flower Hair Tie Tutorial

Welcome, fellow crafters! We're thrilled to introduce the Grace Collection, our exclusive series of elegant handmade hair accessories. In this first tutorial, Grace Collection #1, we'll guide you through making a beautiful chiffon ribbon flower hair tie, perfect for adding a charming flair to your ponytail. This handmade accessory is surprisingly easy to create and makes a wonderful gift or a chic addition to your own collection. Let's get started!

Materials You'll Need:

• Chiffon Ribbon: 5 pieces, each 3 inches long (approx. 7.5 cm) and 1 inch wide (approx. 2.5 cm).
• Rubber Hair Elastic/Hair Band: 1 piece (a standard black hair elastic works well).
• Imitation Pearl Bead: 1 piece (for the center of the flower).
• Sewing Needle: 1 piece.
• Sewing Thread: Approximately 20 inches (about 50 cm) long.
• Omega-shaped Clip/Base: 1 piece (used as a flat base to reinforce the hair elastic and attach the chiffon flower).
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks: 1 set.
• Non-woven Fabric Circle: 1 piece (for attaching and securing the chiffon flower).
• Scissors: For cutting the ribbon.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing Your Chiffon Petals

Take a sewing needle and a piece of thread. Hold a rectangular piece of chiffon ribbon vertically, approximately 3 inches long. Fold the top-left corner downwards, aligning the fold with the right edge of the chiffon ribbon to form a right-angled triangle. Next, fold the excess long strip of chiffon ribbon inwards (towards the bottom-left) along a dashed line extending from the midpoint of the original diagonal edge to the midpoint of the right vertical edge. This forms a pointed top, overlapping the upper and lower sections to create an "arrow" shape. Use the needle and thread to stitch the bottom of the arrow, forming a petal. Repeat this process for all 5 pieces of chiffon ribbon to create five individual petals. Stitch them tightly and then cut the remaining thread.

Step 2: Shaping and Securing the Chiffon Flower

Gently arrange the "arrow" shapes of the five ribbons by hand to form a full chiffon flower shape. Take the non-woven fabric circle. Apply a circle of hot glue with your hot glue gun onto the non-woven fabric circle. Carefully press the prepared chiffon flower onto it, ensuring it's firmly attached.

Step 3: Adding the Pearl Center to the Flower

Now, it's time to add that elegant touch! Apply a small dot of hot glue to the very center of your chiffon flower. Carefully place the imitation pearl bead onto the glue, pressing it gently until it's firmly secured.

Step 4: Assembling the Hair Elastic Base

Take your rubber hair elastic and the Omega-shaped clip. Use the hot glue gun to adhere the rubber hair elastic into the groove of the Omega-shaped clip, ensuring a secure bond.

Step 5: Final Hair Tie Assembly

Last but not least! Apply glue to the side of the non-woven fabric circle (the side not attached to the chiffon flower) and attach it to the top flat surface of the Omega-shaped clip. Gently press and hold until the hot glue cools and sets.
