I made another browband!

[Shantara]

I bought a plain browband for 50p, so I thought I'd have a little fun!

 

[amandal]

very pretty! Where did or you buy a browband for 50p??

 

[Kiristamm]

You are amazing! I think you should really consider making more of these.

 

[Shantara]

Thank you I wish I had the patience to make more and I wish I could find a cheaper way to buy them, as that one was pot luck at a car boot! I couldn't believe it when they said 50p! Though, my last one was 50p too haha!

 

[LittleGinger]

Very pretty! Definitely doesn't look like a 50p* browband now - looks lovely!

*50p! You lucky thing, what a bargain

 

[BillyBob-Sleigh]

It's gorgeous Nah, I love blue and silver (it's my boys colours ). The only thing I would say if you were going to start selling them is perhaps put a bigger rosette on the side, but that's being picky, it really is lovely

 

[Kiristamm]

I recon you could buy them in bulk! x

Thanks ^^ Ned doesn't usually do silver and blue, but I figured we should have some snazzy colours for in-hand showing

I was going to do a bigger rosette, but it wasn't working and I got frustrated and stuck with that

My last one had a nice big one though!

 

[EllieandGeorge]

They're fantastic! If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to secure the velvet on the ends?

Oooh that's nice! . I wish I had the patience to do something like that! I paid someone over £30 to do mine . This is him with it on last year (please excuse the fluffy, gangliness he was having a giant growth spurt and having a real ugly duckling stage lol):

 

[FfionWinnie]

You are very talented!! How long does it take you?

 

[Shantara]

Thanks

Red one took about 2hrs (rosette included) but it was my first go!
Blue one took about 45mins

 

[Shantara]

Sorry BillyBob-Sleigh! Nearly missed your post!

Gorgeous browand they're pretty easy to do and there's a great tutorial here http://www.horsewyse.com.au/browbands.html

Nearly missed your post too EllieandGeorge!
I sewed it at the top and bottom to the silver ribbon

 

[FfionWinnie]

Get selling them at 30 quid a pop (This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires!)

 

[BillyBob-Sleigh]

Agree with FW, you should start taking orders for christmas (gives you a bit of extra cash too )

 

[OpalFruits]

Nah they're amazing! How do you do the triangle things for the rosette? I am making them for my friends for christmas- inspired by your last post!

Cannot for the life of me work out how to do the rosettes!

 

[albeg]

That's fab Nah! They'd make great pressies for horsey people!

I'm on a mission to make some now! Hoping that superglue will work as I don't have a glue gun haha

 

[putasocinit]

Lovely, does the dye run if it rains, would like one for my grey gone white cob?

 

[OpalFruits]

Which way do you bend the ribbon though? I don't seem to be doing it properly

 

[Shantara]

EllieandGeorge - Yay!! Be sure to post when you're done

MillieMoo101 - It took me sooooo many goes before I got into the swing of it, but you'll get there, I'm sure
