Have you ever seen this cute Bow scarf tutorial from the blog Ruffles and Stuff before? When I saw the post a few months ago, I knew I want to make something like that! Reality check, let’s exclude anything to do with fashion statements for now; who would make a scarf here where the cold weather will never ever come? (read: currently living in a 2-season aka tropical country). But just in case if I get a chance to live somewhere there is winter in the future, I did pin the image, linking to to the tutorial, on my Pinterest’s “to-make” board. Fast forward to a few days ago, I saw the image pinned again by someone and it got me an idea to waste no more time waiting for winter to come and try to make something similar but this time, wearable.

Halo semuanya, pernah lihat tutorial scarf pita dari blog Ruffles and Stuff ini ngga? Saya nemu postingan ini tahun lalu. Sumpah, cakep banget! Cara buatnya mudah pula, otomatis jadi kepengen coba buat juga. Tapi dipikir-pikir kalau sudah dibuat, terus diapain? Dipakai? Ngga mungkin dong di cuaca sepanas ini. Akhirnya setelah melewati waktu berbulan-bulan, terpikir cara untuk mengaplikasikan tehnik pita lanjut yang digunakan di tutorial tadi, dan kali ini pastinya bisa dipakai di negara bagian manapun (hmm, mungkin?) Dicoba juga yuk!

What you need | Yang anda butuhkan:

1. Elastic lace/ribbon | pita (renda) elastis;
2. Scissors | gunting;
3. Needle & thread or glue | jarum & benang atau lem.

Step 1: Cut a long stripe of elastic ribbon, approx. 80 cm in length.

Langkah 1: Potong sehelai pita elastis dengan panjang kira-kira 80 cm.

Step 2: Starting from one end, fold your ribbon to make the shape of a bow (image above).

Langkah 2: Mulailah dari salah satu ujung dan lipatlah pita elastis membentuk pita kupu-kupu (seperti gambar di atas).

Step 3: Cut a small piece of ribbon (you can use the same ribbon or you can get a different one, your choice!). Make a loop with it, slide it to the center of your bow and secure its position with glue.

Langkah 3: Gunting sepotong kecil pita (boleh pita yang sama atau pita yang lain, sesuai selera!). Buat bentuk melingkar dari pita kecil tersebut, posisikan di tengah pita kupu-kupu tadi dan beri lem supaya tidak bergeser.

Step 4: Continue to make more bows! I need around 6 bows for my head (from one ear to the other).

Langkah 4: Teruskan membuat pita kupu-kupu sesuai diameter kepala. Saya sendiri butuh 6 pita kecil ini dengan jarak total dari satu telinga ke telinga yang satunya lagi.

Step 5: Join the two loose ends together with thread or glue or you can use an elastic cord to connect them (image above).

Langkah 5: Sambungkan kedua ujung pita dengan jahitan atau lem atau anda juga bisa menggunakan tali karet seperti gambar di atas.

Step 6: And you are done!

Langkah 6: Dan selesailah bando pita ini :D
