About My
Ribbon Roses Clip |

|
My interest in making ribbon roses began during the stress of
preparing for my Form 6 (Pre-Uni) exams. Extreme
pressure studies can bring up a lot of creativity that one never knew one
had. When I take a break from studies and turn to my ribbon roses, I am
momentarily lost in my own world. The craft offered me a lot of comfort and
relaxation. I keep a toolbox to store the
ribbons systematically. As my collection increases, I have to start storing
them in mini drawers. Aside from that, also need to buy lots of base such as
hair claws, clips and bands to add my design on them. Experience had taught
me to access if the base is of good quality. It is very important to ensure
that the bases are made of good quality so that they do not break easily.
Throughout the years, I learned to improvise the colour combination and now have colours
in almost every shade and hue. To make the clips, I work I work with metal barrettes, clips and hair
claws. However I love working with metal barrettes the most.
What makes
a good ribbon rose clip? 1. Strong
& durable My friends used to complain about the decorative items that
comes off from their clip because the items are just glued to the base. I have started making hairclips for almost
10 years and those hairclips are still in excellent wearing condition because
I take the extra trouble to secure them via nylon. I hand stitch the nylon
strings to the base to ensure they hold well and have reinforce stitches.
