Braided Barrette
They're not really NEW, but because we've had
many requests from our visitors, we've decided to
do a pattern for the Braided Barrettes which
were so popular a few years back. Done up in
red and green for Christmas (or any color
combinations for everyday use), these barrettes
will look adorable and so festive in any little girls
hair. Make them up in colors to match all your outfits.......or your school colors!!!!

MATERIALS:
1 yd. Wrights® 1/8" Green Double Face Satin Ribbon (#223-720-924)
1 yd. Wrights® 1/8" Red Double Face Satin Ribbon (#223-720-908)
1 Double Bar Barrette (2" long)
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place the two ribbons one over the other, evenly.

2. Thread the two ribbons through the barrette and
center it at the top end (see illustration 1).
3. With the two bar side facing you, start braiding the
ribbon from one side over the first bar and through
the center to the other side (see illustration 2).
4. Do the same thing with the ribbon from the
opposite side, placing it over the first bar and
going through the center to the other side (see
illustration 3). (Be sure to push it up to the other
ribbon and pulling it tight each time).
5. Repeat these steps until you get to the bottom of
the barrette. Then thread the last ribbon through
tightly so that all the ribbons end up on the same
side, creating the streamers.
6. Enjoy!
