Quick and to the point, right?
Well, if you didn't read my post yesterday, E did a craft. She loves to try to make lots of things but this was her first REAL crafting. I helped her by doing the any sewing needed. Here's what we did and what she did on her own.
First we found ribbon that went with her color scheme and sewed it to some elastic.
In order to keep everything stretchable, sew a little ways on the elastic and ribbon until you can grab it on the back side of the sewing machine foot. Once you can grab it, pull the elastic tight on both ends and while keeping the ribbon centered, sew down the middle.
It will look like this:
Then lay it flat on your work surface (you may need to put a weight on each end) and start laying out your buttons.
Once you like how something looks together, hot glue it together. I have seen where some sew it to the elastic. We kept it simple and E was able to do that entire process (other than the sewing) on her own.
Once everything is glued down, overlap the ends and sew them together. I went over it multiple times to make sure it would hold.
Project complete!! Good job E!!!
