Very fun and easy fashion accessories
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.

Step 910. Sport your cute new hair accessories
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.
