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...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...
