Step by Step
HAIR COMB: Cut the felt to extend about
a ¼ inch beyond each edge of the comb, and
the width at about 2½ inches. Apply a thin line
of hot glue onto the backside of the comb, at
the top, and press one edge of the felt onto the
hot glue, using tweezers, if necessary, to avoid
burning your fi ngers. Once the glue has cooled,
apply a thin line of hot glue onto the front of the
comb, at the top, and fold the felt over the comb,
pressing the edge onto the strip of hot glue.
You might want to apply a drop of hot glue
at each end of the felt, to close each end.
Be sure to leave the teeth of the comb exposed.
STEP 1: ATTACHING FELT "BASES" TO THE EARRINGS, CUFF BRACELET AND HAIR COMB
EARRINGS: Cut two octagons
about 1 inch in diameter. Hot-glue
a 1-inch length of paper-covered
wire, formed into a loop or a
"U" shape, to one side of each
piece of felt, at the "top." Apply
pressure to the wire to ensure that
the ends are securely glued to
the felt. Once the glue has dried,
slip the wire loops over the hooks
of the earrings, and fold the wire
over the tops of the earrings so
that the felt pieces lay fl at against
the front of the earrings.
CUFF: Cut a piece of felt 4½ inches by 2½ inches. Apply a small drop of hot glue to the underside of the cuff, in the center, and press one
end of the felt onto the glue. This will create only one small contact point of hot glue on the underside of the cuff, enabling the felt to be easily
removed after the event without damaging the cuff. Next, apply a thin line of hot glue to the surface of the felt on the underside of the cuff, and
tightly wrap the piece of felt around the cuff, holding it in place from the underside.
