Ribbon Princess Tutorial - Cinderella

A while ago I saw a hair clip at the department store that was a girl made out of ribbons. It was sooo cute, but too pricey for what it was. So I searched online for samples and I found that they even have the Disney princesses versions! While most people sell their hand made ribbon princess, one lady was nice enough to share a tutorial for 13 different princesses. How awesome is that! You can see her tutorials at Grosgrain Fabulous.

I bought my gross grain ribbon online at Pusat Grosir Pita. They have good selection and if you are in Indonesia I do recommend them.

I made this Cinderella following her tutorial with a slight difference in how I attach the hair. I hope you like it!

This is what you need:


Flesh colored: 2¼ ", 3"
Yellow: 1¼", 2 " Light Blue: 2", 1¼ ", five pieces of 4"White: two pieces of 1", two pieces of 2½" 
Glue (I used UHU)
Hairspray (because I didn't have any no-fray spray)



  • Take the longer flesh colour strip, roll one end to make the head and glue.


  • Take the shorter yellow strip, fold it in half and glue the end. This is her bang.


  • Glue the bang to the top of the head like so.


  • Take the other yellow strip and the light blue strip with the same length, and glue them together like so.


  • Glue the ends together to make a shape like this, make sure that the yellow strip is on the outside. This will be the rest of her hair and her blue head band.


  • Attach the hair to the head and bang like so.


  • Take the shortest blue strip and glue to the back of her body. Bring the other end around the front and glue at the back to make a bodice. Leave enough room for her skirt to go in.


  • Take the other flesh colour strip, cut the ends to a rounded shape. Spray with hairspray to prevent fraying. This will also stiffen the ribbon and that is good for arms. Attach this strip at the back of the bodice.


  • Take the 2 short white strips and glue them to the back of the arms, loop around, and glue again. These are her sleeves.


  • Pinch the rest of the strips in half and glue the end.


  • Glue the blue pieces together, keeping the ends at one point in a fan shape. Then attach the two white pieces on top.


  • Glue the skirt to the rest of the body. Voila!


I attached it on a hair pin instead of a head band.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
