I have to say this is one of the least practical projects, for me at least. I don’t even have little girls, but I do love the idea of anything vintage. To me the idea of hair rolled in little curlers is just that. I might have watched too many “I Love Lucy” reruns as a kid. I have thought before that I was born in the wrong generation, and would have probably fit in better back then. Has anyone else ever felt that way?

My Mother- In- Law and I talked about making these last year for the family beach trip, just to be funny and walk around the house with them in our hair. We never got a chance to make them, and the project got put on the back burner, until Shara, who has girls, needed a guest post. I knew this was the perfect excuse to make these cute little curlers. I shared this tutorial with her readers last month, and I thought now would be a good time to show you my cute creation.

What You Will Need:

12- 3 in x 10 in pieces of fabric

Fiberfill

Velcro

Marking tool (chalk, water soluble pen or pencil)

Something pointy to help with turning fabric and stuffing

Sewing machine and basic sewing supplies

To Make:

After you have your fabric cut to 3 in x 10 in, draw a line 3 1/2 inches from the each end. That will leave you a 3 in space in the middle of your fabric between each line.

Fold fabric in half long ways. Sew along one short side and the long side. Clip your sewn corner so that there is less bulk when you turn.

Turn right side out. Using some kind of pointy object to help push your corners out.

Sew along the line closest to the closed end.

Stuff with fiberfill until you almost come to the next line. A pointy object will help you again here with getting the stuffing in and push down where you need it to be. I use a pair of hemostats, but a pencil would work too.

Sew as close as to the second line as you possibly can.

Fold under your unfinished end, and sew in 1/8-inch from the end to close.

Sew Velcro to the backside of one flap and the front of the other. The piece on the backside will be sewn about an 1-inch from edge and the piece facing you in the picture will be a 1/2-inch from edge. It really isn’t critical that you line your Velcro up like mine, I just found that worked best for me.

**If you have a little girl with fine hair, feel free to play with the size, thickness or even the placement of the Velcro to make a tighter curler.**
