Inspired by Angry Chicken. I tried my best to sew them on my machine, but I could NOT sew on the lines very straight. So, I improvised and hand stitched some barrettes instead. ..................................................................................... Supplies A- Felt (I love wool felt, but the craft felt works well to)! B- Fabric pen C- Embroidery or Craft Thread D- Scissors E- Needle F- Snap Barrettes (I found them for a good price at a beauty supply store) Step 1 Trace barrette twice onto your felt using your fabric pen. Step 2 On one of your traced felt barrettes, mark in-between the back snap as shown in picture (in red). Step 3 Cut out your barrettes about 1/8" from the trace lines. Step 4 Cut a slit from red dot to red dot. Step 5 Thread your needle and knot your thread on one end. Step 6 Sandwich the two felt barrette pieces together and bring thread up through the skinny end of the top felt piece (this will hide your knot). Step 7 Blanket-stitch up to the wide end of the felt sandwich and stop stitching. Step 8 Slide the metal barrette into the sandwich sliding the skinny snap through the slit in the back felt piece. See the pictures. Now snap the metal barrette shut. Step 9 Continue to blanket-stitch back to the starting point, enclosing the metal barrette as you go. Turn barrette over (as shown in picture), knot and cut your thread. Finished Barrette: Don't forget to visit the rest of my blog! I also have a forest fawn stuffie pattern for sale here. My instructions are accompanied by full color photographs and I give permission for you to sale your fawn creations!
