So instead of finally taking pictures of my skirt (which is totally finished), I decided to make some little lolita candy accessories. Not quite sure what I want to do with them yet, maybe make a necklace or a bracelet or hairclips? I'll figure it out. Anyway, they're pretty easy to figure out, but just in case I added a tutorial under the cut. Overall they took me about an hour and a half, including time to do test runs, mess up, and sing along to bad techno with my roommate.
Materials:
1. Cut 3.5"x3.5" inch squares. (Polka dot or stripe fabric work really well)
2. Hem 2 opposing sides.
3. Add lace or trim.
4. Right sides facing, stitch non-lacey sides together.
5. Turn right side out. Loosely hand-stich around the wrapper ~1.5" away from the edge.
6. Pull thread to gather, tie off ends.
7. Add puffball and repeat on the other side, cinching both ends tightly.
8. Add bows or rhinestones/pearls and use with any accessory.
What a cute, helpful tutorial!! I think I'll try this out :]
