Aren't they amazing?! I knew right away I wanted to make myself some especially since my craft group was focusing on making trees out of cones. I went and bought all my stuff and then went back to Shanty2Chic's blog for the tutorial. Right away I realized I didn't have a ruffler foot for my sewing machine. I called a few friends and NO one had a ruffler foot. So I pouted about it for a while. Then I got grouchy about it. Stupid ruffler. Finally I decided to take action. I decided I was going to buy that darn ruffler and show it who is boss. I came to find out the craft stores in my area don't carry the ruffler and I would have to order it online. I didn't want to wait days for it to come! So what did I do? Well I pouted and cried a little more and got a whole lot more grouchy :) I know I could still sew ruffles but I just wanted to use that ruffler. I moved onto a new project still thinking "stupid, stupid, stupid" (stupid is a bad word in our house) "ruffler!". I pulled out my glue gun to work on another project and realized I too could make beautiful ruffles with my handy dandy glue gun and no sewing would be involved. Problem solved!
Ruffles were achieved by gluing a little ribbon on and back tracking every once in a while to form a ruffle! Now I just need to make a few more.
Thank you glue gun! Oh and Ruffler...I don't hold this against you in any way. I will probably buy you someday :)
