  Step 1

  Gather materials and plug in your glue gun.

• 

  Step 2

  Flip applique face side down on a good work space. Begin by gluing one end of the pleated satin ribbon to the back of the applique. Press the ribbon down so it sticks to the applique.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold and glue ribbon as shown. This will make it so the shiny side of the satin ribbon is always exposed.

• 

  Step 4

  The front should look like this.

• 

  Step 5

  Now fold the ribbon as shown and glue down again.

• 

  Step 6

  Continue this process all around the applique. Here's an "in progress" photo.

• 

  Step 7

  Once finished, cut a 6", 8", and 10" piece of pearl trim. Also, save scraps of pleated ribbon for this part.

• 

  Step 8

  Lay the 6" piece of pearl trim as shown and glue down with your glue gun.

• 

  Step 9

  Now repeat the last step with the 8" piece of pearl trim, gluing the ends to the outside of the 6" piece of pearl trim.

• 

  Step 10

  Glue down the 10" piece of pearl trim on top of the other two pieces.

• 

  Step 11

  Cover pearls and glue clump by adding more glue and placing a piece of pleated trim over pearl ends.

• 

  Step 12

  Cut a scrap of t shirt fabric and cover the entire back of your new motif.

• 

  Step 13

  First glue down the scrap fabric, and then your hair clip or pin. Wipe up any excess glue with a pen cap.

• 

  Step 14

  Now try it on and enjoy!
