This is soooo easy I made and wrote this tutorial while watching TV and having a weekend mooch. Also they are lovely and cheap, the headbands are a pack of 3 from Primark for £2.50, a little fabric and a few embellishments from the stash.
I first heard of Suffolk puffs at a craft fair in Norfolk and a lovely old lady came in and described how to make them perfectly. Since then I have made hundreds as they are nice and easy to make while sitting in front of the TV and are another great way to use up scraps.
Hope everyone has had a restful weekend. xx
What you will need...
- Fabric
- Circular templates (bowls, mugs) sizes of your choice
- Thread
- Beads and buttons
- Felt for backing
- Vanishing pen
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
Have you spotted my little helper!!
One
Start by making your puffs. Cut out 4 circle of fabric and stitch around the outside as shown. Then pull both ends tight and tie them off. How easy was that!!
Two
Two
Sew your puffs together. If you stitch through the top layer make sure the stitch back through is really close so the stitch will be almost invisible.
Three
Now the fun bit choose your embellishments and buttons. La la la this could take a while. Attach your chosen fancys.
Four
Draw around your puffs onto the felt and cut it out slightly smaller than the puffs.
Five
Sew the puffs to your head band and hot glue the backing to cover the messiness.
And you have a pretty and unique headband. Amazingly small managed to stay stillish and look slightly cute.
Hope everyone has had a restful weekend. xx
