And to make the young lady look stylish, we will make her a hat that is attached to a hairpin, and two boutonnieres for her arms.
Before starting work, you should decide on the number of stars needed. Here: 2 boutonnieres and one hat. The boutonnieres were made of two larger felt stars, two smaller ones, and two stars made of metallized cardboard. For the hat you need one felt star (the largest), one made of cardboard (slightly smaller), and a third made of felt - even smaller than cardboard.
Four more small felt stars will be needed for the pendants.
Materials:
- metallized colored cardboard – 1 sheet;
- colored felt – 1 sheet;
- non-woven fabric – 40 x 60 cm;
- rubber band – 40 cm;
- tape 0.5 cm - 30 cm;
- hairpin – 1 pc.;
- threads;
- sequins, beads or glass beads - 3 pcs.
Instructions for making a hat and boutonniere
1.Draw stars on the back of the cardboard.
2.Cut them out along the intended contour.
3.Draw stars on a sheet of artificial felt for creativity.
4.Cut them out.
5. We lay out the felt stars on the non-woven fabric. We place them as close to each other as possible. Iron it with an iron.
6. Cut the interlining from the star blanks. We try not to grab the felt base.
7. Place the stars on top of each other, forming two boutonnieres and a hat.
8.Using an awl, make a hole in the center of the stars stacked on top of each other. We fasten them together with sequins and beads. From the back we fasten the thread to the felt star.
9.Measure the circumference of the child’s wrist. Cut two rubber bands of the same length (adding 1 cm each for overlap). Sew elastic bands to the felt base of both boutonnieres.
10. Sew a small felt star to the ribbon (15 cm). Sew the other end of the ribbon to the elastic band on the boutonniere.
11. Repeat the same with the second boutonniere.
12. Sew a snap-on hairpin to the back of the star hat.
13. We fasten the remaining two small felt stars at the edge of the star hat on threads of a convenient length (here 8 cm).
