Hi everyone! I've heard of people using felt or fabric to cover the backs of their alphas, but I haven't seen any photos or videos. I have had success with different types of glue to keep everything secure, but I'm looking for ways to hide all the strings and colour changes. Does anyone have any videos to recommend or know of any patterns that have photos like these posted? Thanks! |

I learned how to do it from tutorials for embroidered patches. It's pretty straight forward. If you're using felt, you just need to cut the fabric in the correct shape, then just glue/sew the felt on (both glueing and sewing is the best option for security). If you're using woven fabric, you'll need to finish the edges so they don't fray. You can either cut about a cm extra fabric around, fold the edges inward so they're hidden between the bracelet and the fabric, and then glue/sew everything together, or you can use the blanket stitch to finish the edges and then connect everything. it's a pretty simple stitch, and holds well.I hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions about this if you have them! |
