Let'S Make Some Cottage Core Hair Accessories! ❀

I have that sir sir sir sir hi there michelle here, also known as fancy dinosaur tea party and welcome back to my channel in today's video i'm going to be making cottage core hair accessories. If you're new to my channel - and you like, sewing crafting but manly thrifting, why not subscribe so today's video hair accessories specifically cottage core - i really like it, although i do have like trouble incorporating it into my everyday wardrobe. I don't know i'm just really bad at being like i want to be cottage court, and then i just keep wearing the same. Grandpa sweater and jeans, like every single day spring is finally here today is a very beautiful day out, and you know what i just want to make some really cute cottage core items. Today'S video is a very simple sewing: video, it's going to be more relaxed than my last sewing video that i wanted to get and check my sewing machine out the window in today's video, as you can see, i'm wearing these really darling earrings, and this necklace from This fantastic shop called sunstone jewels. I have known about her shop for probably three four years now and i love like everything she puts out her shop is just so stinking cute. Let me just say, like i am a sucker for cute jewelry and her shop is basically kind of the reason why i started getting back into jewelry. I will be linking her shop below and if you go on her site and you find something that you really like - you can use the code fancy to get ten percent off your order. Get it fancy dinosaur tea party fancy so definitely go check her out, because she's got some great stuff. Now this video i'm going to be using thrifted fabric to be making my creations, you will recognize this. If you watched my video that i made last year, where i turned a shower curtain into reusable shopping bags, the bag that i made last year was this one here, look how cute this is and what's great, is that, like you can ball it up, stick it In your pocket, stick it in your purse, it's very lightweight! You know it's it's perfect for shopping and to me this is such a cottage core color scheme, gingham like when, i think, cottage cork, gingham picnic table. Those vibes are what i get from this pattern and because this once was a shower curtain, i still have it. You can see the the top of it. Yep want to make so much stuff. Out of this, i would love to make this out of a dress. It'S just it's way too sheer, so i'm going to make some other cute things. So, with this fabric, i'm going to make a bandana a scrunchie and some cute little hair clips. Now the hair clips you're not going to need a sewing machine for, and that's probably going to be the easiest one. I hope me saying it's the easiest one now and then i start making it and i'm like. Oh, no, michelle you've made a mistake, but we'll see when we get there now with the bandana, i'm gon na take an extra step just to ensure that it doesn't fray because, as you can see, it's uh, it's definitely a frameable material. I'M gon na use my favorite thing that i had just recently discovered, and that is bias. Tape is an ivory white and it is just the double fold - and it's just this size here compared to the one that i normally use, which is a double folded extra wide. So i'm not going to use the extra wide i'm just going to use this really thin stuff here just so then that way. I know that when i'm done it's not going to keep fraying on me, so that's the only difference that i'm going to make in this, but the scrunchie is going to be pretty easy for the hair clips. I have to go find it. I should have found it before the video, but i did for the hair clips. I do have some plain hair clips that i got from like the dollar tree like two years ago that i was going to use for a craft and then i didn't, but now i have them for this craft perfect. I'M also going to be using some felt, because this is very sheer, so i want to put this on the felts, so i can attach it to the clip. So i got to get that as well. I think that's basically all i can say about this. So, let's actually start doing it so for the bandana. I have this one that i had thrifted a few years ago, topping okay, it's the perfect size, because i can tie it in a bow in the back or i can tie it in a bow on my head. I just want to make sure that i make it big enough that i can do it. This is going to be my very simple pattern and then i'm just going to cut this for size. I'M going to do that after i move topsy, topsy up, see, don't don't you sit? I swears, i swears, don't you sit he's sitting all right? This is this. Is my working setup? Okay, i'm sorry! I have the bandana cut out now and, as you can see, the edges are kind of fraying. So what i want to do is i'm going to take this and i'm just going to pin it all down. Here'S this pink color, because the white isn't really showing up right. This is a double fold because it's folded and then folded right, i'm gon na unfold it like this, then i'm gon na unfold it again. So i get this kind of bare edge right here and then i'm gon na take it and i'm just gon na pin this part down all the way around. So just like that, although this color doesn't look really good with this, i'm using this for a different project. So i take this. Take a pin, my pin and just do that, just like that. I just flatten it out, put the pin in push it and that's basically what i'm doing all the way along. So i'm going to see if you can zoom in on that. So you see how that kind of looks where this is still folded over. But this is nice and flat, and what i'm going to do, is you stitch it and when it's stitched, then you can fold the whole thing over and then give it a nice top stitch and it's not going to be all wobbly. So it's all pinned up and i'm going to run it through the sewing machine. Now i personally like doing it one side at a time like i don't want to cut it. If i cut it, then i could do all of it at once, but i feel like if i just sew this once then i'll come back and then i'll restitch it. So this is what it looks like on one side and that's how it's stitched on this side. This is the good side, and this is the back side. I think this side is just a little bit darker. So that's why? I think this is the good side compared to this side. I don't know, then i flip it. It looks darker. I really don't think it matters, they look exactly the same. So this is where i started, and this is also where i left off hi gunner and then i'm just going to cut this little piece off just like that. What i'm doing is like that's from the back, so i'm just going over this piece like that and then i'm folding it and then i'm taking my pin and i'm just going to pin it like that sewn here and i'm just going to flip it, and i'm Just going to start pinning it all the way across so now that i've gotten to the corner like this, i think i'm just going to do that and then just just pin around it. All of my sides are now pinned up and it's time to take it to the sewing machine. Now, when i am doing my top stitch, i'm actually doing it like right kind of on the edge and i'll show you what i mean so just like that. That'S how i am sewing it up that way. I know that there's not going to be any fraying and it's not going to come apart. The bandana hair scarf is done. This is what it looks like on the one side and that's what it looks like on the other side. It it's identical, so it's reversible but doesn't need to be reversible, and now that this is done, it's time to work on the scrunchie and here's the scrunchie material i've made scrunchies on this channel. I think like two or three other times, but let's do it again. Can i have that, sir sir, sir, sir, honestly scrunchies are the easiest thing to do outer layer facing upwards? I know it's really hard to tell what's up what's down, it doesn't really matter with this fabric, but for your fabric at home. If you decide to do this, put your good layer or your top layer, because we're going to fold it just like this now, i'm making a very chunky scrunchie, because that's the type that i like so now that it's folded for my scrunchies, how i make them! I like to leave about maybe an inch from the end so like right about here. I'M gon na put a little pin and that just is a marker for me to remember. That'S where i start sewing, and i know a lot of people do put their pins. Like this, i'm just not there yet i feel more comfortable doing my pins like this, so i'm just going to pin all the way down. I think i'm going to stop it from an inch, so i am going to do that same little technique where i just put the pin sideways. So i know that's where to stop now, i'm off to the sewing machine to sew this up, it's all sewn. So now i'm going to take this and i'm going to flip it inside out my hand in there it's a big scrunchie, so i can literally put my hand in now for my next step is i'm going to turn it inside out, but only halfway. So i'm just lining up the seam. Remember how i said to leave a little bit of opening. This is. Why is so when i sew this up, we can pull it through this hole still and then i'm just going to pin the edges all right just like that, i'm gon na take it to the sewing machine, so i'm not gon na attach it just so from Here to here, so it's kind of like this. It looks like a tube and then from that little opening that we had i'm just gon na pull all of it through there we go so it's kind of like that. Now i'm going to take my elastic, i'm just going to cut a little bit extra than what i'm going to need, then, with a safety pin or something because this is such a big tube. I can use a hair clip and i just kind of clip it on the teeth part like that, and then i'm just going to feed it through having a little bit of difficulty. It'S okay! I will get this okay, oh oh! I got it. I got it just be very careful all right and now you have both of them out. Oh god, i almost lost it all right. I got about that. So what i like to do is i like to stick. Oh, my god, look at how that is a big scrunchie that is way bigger than i thought. Oh well, we're already in it. This far, it's fine, i like to kind of put it on my wrist and when it fits like nice around my wrist. That is where i will tie it up. Just tying it like this. Let'S see that yeah, that's pretty good, and then i just pull it really tight. Take my scissors cut off the extra, so that's in there final step for this gigantic scrunchie, which i didn't mean to make this big, i'm just folding over that little spot that we left open, i'm just going to pin it and pin it there and then just Sew that, through the sewing machine and there's our finished scrunchie, it's a lot bigger than i thought it was gon na, be like look at how gigantic this scrunchie is. That'S okay. I wanted a big fluffy scrunchie, and that is what i got. Okay, so remember how i said that i was gon na use clips that i got from the dollar tree last year. Well, i can't find them. I can picture them, but i don't know where they are and then i'm like hey michelle member last year when you really got into polymer clay and you wanted to make hair clips. So you went on amazon and bought a bunch of clips these these clips. Why don't you just use them, so i'm going to use these instead of the other clips. The other clips i don't think would have stayed in my hair is great because i mean they were from the dollar tree and they weren't the best quality. That'S why i never really used them, so i'm going to continue the project, but i'm going to use these clips instead. So what you're going to need is some felt a pair of scissors, your glue gun the template of what shape you want and your clips, as well as your fabric, all right. So the reason why i switched to this fabric here is one. It is stinky and cute. Also. Yesterday i had made myself a scrunchy headband and this and then i'm like, i should make a video and then that's what this video is. Is me showing you how i did that, but with other fabrics anywho, that's not the point. Like i did a little mock-up to see how i would like the hair clip, and this is kind of what it turned out but like if you see it, i i just. I don't think that this color really like pops because of how see-through it is, and i feel that if i made the hair clips out of this fabric here, it would go with my set that i already have. This looks great for a bandana scrunchy amazing, but i just think for the hair clip. I think it's just a little blah for the hair clips. I kind of like this shape and then i'm just going to do that. Just cut around all of the edges and then we have the two little clips. So what i'm going to do now is i'm just going to take this and i think, with my little sewing scissors, i'm just going to kind of like cut around it. So i think i just need two that it has kind of the shape i'm just going to go around and then, with my glue gun, i'm just going to just a little strip with a little bit of glue, just kind of wrap it. My fingers are burning. They'Re burning, yes, i am burning my fingers just letting you know now. I'M gluing the top of the clip to the back side of the fabric, and this is how they look like they got the little clippies on the back and that's the front all right. So you just saw the scrunchie and the hair clips, not too much can be said about how to wear them, except you can only wear them kind of in one way. I am going to show you a few different ways that you can style this hair scarf. That will make it like super duper, cute fold it in half and then from the corner here, you're going to fold it down and fold it down and you're just going to keep doing that. So now you kind of have this little guy here when i put hair scarves in my hair, i don't want them to get tangled up in the hair, so i just take a elastic scrunchie, whatever you have on you and i just make a bun, although, like That bun looks kind of cute too. I just make a bun just to get it out of my face, so i want to have the like this on the back and the nice on the front, so i'm just gon na sit it on my hand like this and i'll just turn around. So this is one way that you can wear it, that kind of makes it look like a headband another way and just kind of spin it. So with this like here, it kind of reminds me of like 1960s mod look, which i absolutely love doing, a 180 from where we first started. I'M gon na bring it all the way up to the top, and then you have cute little bunny ears, which is also like. I love the little bunny ears. But if you're not a big fan of the bunny ears, you can also just take them and just tuck them in under just like that, and what i love doing is getting some bobby pins yeah. So i just put the bobby pins. It'S just on the sides here just so that way: they're kind of clipping together my hair and the scarf that way. It'S not going to move the bunny ears aren't going to pop up it just like it just stays in place. The next way i'm going to show you is you're going to take hair you're just going to put it up in a ponytail still like this i'll spin. So you can see i'm good now. I can't see what i'm doing, but that's fine. So with this look here, it kind of looks more 1950s. I definitely think this would be really cute if it was like a little bit smaller, but i mean that's one way to wear it, so the next look that you can do if you want to look like you are a rich person from the 1950s and you're Driving around in your red convertible - or you are my oma when she used to live in germany, we got this look. I think this is really cute. I would like to start wearing scarves like this, while i'm driving in my car, because again my car does not have air conditioning. That is something that i would like to fix this year. I have to have all my windows down. Otherwise, it will be way too hot for me, and my hair goes everywhere. I hate putting in a ponytail because, like the ponytail will hit the back of my seat and for some reason it just bothers me, and the last look is very similar to that look. I'M just gon na put my hair again just in a bun, so this look here, you could leave it so it's that long, but what i like to do so, instead of folding from the bottom i fold from the top, i do like two or three just So it's like folded kind of like that, and then i put it on my head and then i just put the bobby pins in the sides like that now i have this look. So that's what it looks like from behind from the side and from the front i don't know, i just have a love for these hair scarves, and lately i've been wearing them more for, like the last three years, i have been thrifting so many of them. I can just make this for myself. I can find some like really cute, like pillowcases and make them. Oh, that would be pillowcases. Is such an underestimated source of fabrics. You go to thrift stores and a lot of people will be just getting rid of their pillowcases and not their sheets or their sheets and other pillowcases, and sometimes they don't even come in sets if they did donate all of them and pillowcases go for like what, Like two three dollars for that amount of fabric at a fabric store is probably six to eight dollars. So i love how this turned out and i really want to make some more if you like, the video give it a good old-fashioned thumbs up and if you're not subscribed. Please subscribe.
