Over 1000 page views + minnie mouse hair accessory!

Wow, it's finally the start of Disney week on my blog and I have finally reached 1000 page views, I think this is quite an achievement!

So here's how to make the minnie mouse inspired hair bow:

For this tutorial I used polymer clay but you could use patterned fabric and make the hair bow in a similar way.

So first of all you will need to soften a large piece of red clay and a smaller piece of white clay, I used around 2/3 of a 25g block of clay or 1/6 of a 50g block of clay.

1. Roll out the red clay into a thin stripe and a thin larger rectangle, if the clay is not soft enough it will be difficult to roll it without it breaking, so spend a good amount of time softening the clay.

2.Split the white clay into six small balls.

3. Lay out the white balls on the larger rolled out rectangle.

4. Flatten these out to make them level with the red clay.

5. Pinch the clay into the centre to form a bow.

6. Wrap the thin strip of red clay around the centre and slightly roll in your fingers to secure.

7. Bake, then leave to completely cool, next glue onto a hair slide, and wear your bow with pride!


Hope you enjoy this tutorial, my next post will be on tuseday and of course will be another  Disney themed project!!
