Master class for faking a delicate hair clip with your own hands
Charming soft blue hairpinwill be perfect for a gray-eyed girl. The added tulle gives the flower splendor, and the rhinestones glamor, so with this hairpin your girl will undoubtedly look like the most fashionable princess!To create a hair clip you will need:
You can start creating a hairpin decoration withany stage – make a flower, a branch or a tulle “skirt”. All these parts are made separately and then connected. To create a flower and a branch, you will need square blanks of satin ribbons, so cut the tape by 4 cm. If you do this with hot scissors, the edges will not change, and it will be easy to work with the blanks in the future. The number of blue elements is equal to the petals, so make 7 of them, another square will turn into a circle for the base. You will need 6 white parts, that is, 3 pieces for each branch.
Fold the blue piece diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.
The next step is to bring the edges with sharp angles down. Do this evenly and symmetrically, and you should end up with a rhombus.
Turn the piece over and on the reverse side, fold the right corner of the diamond towards the visual midline of the piece.
The second corner on the left is also folded towards the center and slightly overlaps the first fold.
Bend the piece along the conditional middle line,clamp it with metal tweezers and melt the bottom over the flame of a lighter. It is necessary to melt the satin for several seconds, then squeeze the bottom of the part well with the "paws" of the tweezers. If you are using a tool for plucking eyebrows, then quickly squeeze the lower part of the petal with your fingers after melting, but remember that the material is very hot. Do not rush to quickly melt the bends of the material, bringing the workpiece directly into the flame, in this case the material will turn black (soot) or burn through completely.
The result is round petals:
Sew seven identical petals into a single flower. Use a needle to attach the elements at the very edge of the base and pull the thread tightly.
To create the bottom part of the flower from tulleskirts, cut a piece of white mesh measuring approximately 5 by 25 cm. Fold the rectangle along the longitudinal line exactly in half. Start sewing the crease with large stitches, forming a skirt.
Pull the quilting seam almost all the way through, then straighten the fabric around the circle.
From the remaining blue square, cut out a circle measuring 2.5-3 cm and singe its edges over a flame. Apply hot glue to the round base and glue the tulle backing.
A blue flower is glued to the center of the work over the delicate mesh. It should be pressed lightly to the base until the glue sets.
To form two branches, you will need sharp petals. Such parts are created using a different principle of bending the workpiece. First, a square part made of white satin is bent diagonally into a triangle.
Then it needs to be folded again along the center of the triangle to form the same shape, but smaller. The fabric will be folded into four layers.
Bend the element again along the center line to create a sharp angle at the top. Clamp the element with tweezers.
The lower parts are often uneven, they need to be trimmed with scissors by a couple of millimeters and immediately melted near the flame so that all four layers are fused into one seam.
Glue two petals together at the base (it is easier to add a drop of glue with a thin stick or toothpick).
A third leaf is glued between this pair of petals, and a small snow-white branch is formed.
The twig is glued between any blue petals.
The second branch is fixed on the other side through 3 petals. Since the number of petals in the blue flower is unclear, the branches will lie asymmetrically, which will not spoil the composition.
Glue a large rhinestone in the center and glue 3-5 more shiny elements to the side of it to create iridescent effects.
Turn the decoration over and glue the clip. Of course, it is better to place it from one branch to another, then the flower will not look upside down on the hair.
A gentle and charming hairpin for a blue-eyed girl is ready. It is convenient to pin up loose hair or decorate a hairstyle.
