Origami Ribbon Headband

[Halloween Origami] How to Make Kiki’s Ribbon from Kiki’s Delivery Service – Ribbon Origami Headband Masquerade

Let’s make a ribbon headband using origami! First, cut the origami paper in half.

Stack the two pieces, fold them in half lengthwise to make a long rectangle, then unfold.

Fold the top and bottom edges in to meet the center crease, slide the pieces to extend the length, secure with tape, fold in half again to make it long and narrow, and glue it together.

The base is done! For the ribbon, stack two sheets of origami, cut off one quarter, then accordion-fold the remaining piece.

Tape the center and fan it out to form the ribbon shape.

Fold the cut-off strip into a long narrow piece and wrap it around the center together with the base.

Finally, punch holes in both ends of the base, thread a rubber band through, and your ribbon headband is complete!

elastic headband

How to make a ribbon elastic headband for babies and kids (can also be used as a scrunchie) - How to sew a ribbon hairband

How about making a rubber headband with a ribbon that even looks cute on babies? It’s easy to make! For the headband base, sew a long, narrow piece of fabric into a tube, turn it right side out, insert elastic, and sew the overlapped ends together to finish.

For the ribbon, do the same: make a fabric tube, fold in both ends, overlap them in the center, and sew while creating gathers.

Finally, place the ribbon over the seam of the base, align it at the ribbon’s center, then wrap another strip of fabric around both the ribbon center and the base and sew to secure.

You’re done! Try making it with your favorite fabrics.

Pumpkins made with colored plastic bags

Can you make a Halloween pumpkin costume without sewing?! Easy colored-plastic-bag costume, also great for recitals and school plays!

Here’s how to make a pumpkin costume that you can even use for a recital.

Prepare colored plastic bags, a pumpkin face, tape, and vinyl tape.

Cut the plastic bag at the top and bottom; at the top, cut out the neckline and sleeve openings.

For the skirt at the bottom, use vinyl tape to create gathers.

Once the top and bottom are ready, attach them together with double-sided tape.

Round off the edges of the plastic bag as you cut, and make the gathered pumpkin collar a focal point.

Stick the pumpkin face wherever you like, add a ribbon at the waist, and you’re done.

Fruits made with colored plastic bags

[Easy Craft] Make Cute Fruit Costumes with Colored Plastic Bags! [For Teachers]

We’ll show you how to make a strawberry costume using colored plastic bags.

You’ll need colored plastic bags, double-sided tape, and flat elastic.

Cut the plastic bags and start sticking them together.

The key point is to apply double-sided tape to the back of the strawberry’s leafy top and stick the bags together in a way that wraps around the flat elastic.

Once you tighten the elastic and finish the leafy top, cut out the sleeves.

Finally, attach round pieces of construction paper, and your cute strawberry costume is complete.

Have fun celebrating Halloween with the kids transformed into strawberries!

Halloween vest

This is my secret trick for when making a pattern feels like a hassle! #diy #Halloween #handmade #monthlymilestonephoto #lifeWithABaby #handmadeAccessories

Here’s how to make a Halloween vest.

You’ll cut felt into the shape of the vest you want, but it can be tricky without a pattern.

In that case, try making a pattern using the method shown in the video.

Sandwich a child’s piece of clothing inside a clear file, trace the clothing with a pen from above, and cut along the lines with scissors.

That completes your pattern—super simple! Next, place the pattern on the felt and cut two identical pieces for the front and back.

If you leave a little extra room at the shoulders and waist, it will be easier to put on and take off.

Sew the two pieces together, then cut down the center of the back with scissors.

Attach buttons or hook-and-loop tape there to make it easy to put on and take off.

Finally, decorate it however you like, and you’re done!
