Hijab pin Tutorial for little muslimah

Here is a hijab pin tutorial you can make with or for the little muslimah in your life.

You will need:
straight pins in a variety of colors
plastic bead/charm components, I am using petal beads
rubber earring backs
crimp beads
jewelry tools pliers/crimper
crazy glue (optional)

Bend the top of the pin at a 90 degree angle about 1/4 down from the pin head (this will allow the pin to lay flat against the head when worn).

Slide the charms on the pin, add the rubber earring back and then the crimp bead. This provides stability and keeps the plastic beads from sliding down.

Crimp the crimp bead onto the pin. Add a drop of crazy glue to ensure the rubber backs and crimp bead will stay in place.

Voilla! The cutest little hijab pin.

Above you can see the white rubber back behind the pink petals, it really helps to hold the petals in place.

BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN. ENJOY

Arm sleeves are going green?!

Here is an arm sleeves that I made, recycling and old shirt that belonged to my daughter.  Here is a fun and unique way to reuse an old shirt. This shirt I used was made of a very thin knit fabric. Also because it was my daughters old shirt the sleeves made excellent undersleeves for an adult because the fit so snug.  First you find a shirt that you no longer want or need. Here is the shirt I used above.

Next I removed the ribbon trim from around the waist.

Here I cut of the arms of the shirt.
