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:
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.
