f you too have an hurricane baby as my Miss B, who is not yet two years old, but is most feminine than Jessica Rabbit and loves clothes, shoes, bags, clothes pegs and elastic (and really I can't imagine from who this love derives!) then this little project quick and low cost is for you!
It is not easy to tie her hair, now begin to be really longish, so to convince her I tried to make a rubber band with a felt flower: it was a success!
It 'so easy and quick to make a rubber band with a felt flower, it takes not more than 5 minutes!
Here is what you need: felt, wool, scissors, elastic or clips, wooden beads.
How to following images:
1 - 2 - 3 Cut the felt in a rectangle of size 7 cm x 30 cm;
4 fold it in half lengthwise;
5-6 fold it in two in height and then two more times, until you get a square. Holding it firmly with one hand, with the other crops the edges to be rounded semicircle;
7 open the felt and put a wire wool of about 45 cm in length in the center. Fold back the felt lengthwise;
8 while holding the felt, pull the two ends of the wool and then fix them with a knot, and then cut the excess wire. At this point you can tie it to a rubber band or sets the felt flower in a small clips with a dot of hot glue. That's it!
If you want, you can create the pistil of the flower by passing a wooden beads in wool yarn placing it at the center of the felt and then continue as from the point 4.
