These barrettes are fun and easy to make. They are great for using little bits of fabric especially your stashed vintage treasures). They also show case special buttons and are a great use for those buttons that have no matches. I sometimes make matching pairs but I really like the making coordinates that are each a little different but still look good worn together.

1. Pick out and Iron fabrics, I usually work on several pair at once picking out fabrics and buttons before I start gluing. Then I work in like an assembly line fashion. Gluing all the fabric on then cutting all at once etc…
-
2.Cut scrap fabric in rectangles just larger than the barrettes
-
3.Open barrette and slide pliers into back of barrette
To hold while gluing -
4.Glue generously on barrette top
-
Position fabric as you want on top of glue
Press evenly as the glue cools with medium firmness
Allow to cool completely -
7.Trim around barrette taking care to leave a slight edge (>1/16”) to allow for any needed fabric expansion when you close the barrette
-
8. Spray entire fabric side of barrette with no fray spray. Allow them dry completely
-
9. Use hot glue on the back of the button and position in place on barrettes while open press slowly and evenly. Then leave to cool on open barrettes

These are so cute, such a fantastic idea. I'm going to look up no fray spray on ebay now. It'll come in handy for my bows too. Thanks.

I got my no-fray spray at hancocks or joannes I think! but I think you can pick it up at any crafty fabric store super store(like hobby lobby or michaels maybe?) Mine is called Fray stop and the USA company is Sullivans (630)-435-1530
It is pretty toxic stuff, I use it on my tiny serged ends. You CAN totally make them without the no fray...I just started using it cause it works kinda like a scotch guard (helps keep them clean) and of course they do not fray up around the edges so much( since I sell them I want them to make sure They last and stay pretty). If you do not use no fray I suggest maybe leaving a TINY bit more fabric around your edges to allow for some xtra fray.
