Description

It would be the perfect statement piece for a 1920s dress up party! You can make it as outgoing or as understated as you'd like.

Instructions

  1. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161220 dsc 9664

    First take applique and cut it out. The applicque that I'm using is actually an cheap beaded dress that I found at goodwill and cut up the fabric.

  2. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161224 dsc 9667

    Next iron on a heavy iron-on-interfacing (pellon works great) to the back of the beaded fabric.

  3. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161231 dsc 9668

    Now carefully cut the excess off.

  4. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161242 dsc 0237

    Take your applique pieces and arrange them in a way that you like and pin it to a long piece of ribbon that can wrap around your head.

  5. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161250 dsc 0242

    Now glue the applique to the ribbon.

  6. Small 103800 2f2014 08 06 161255 dsc 0243

    Let sit for a few hours until completely dry.
