DIY Headrest decoration

[furryfren]

I got inspired by some bloke on 9thgencorolla.com so I decided to make a DIY!

Here's the finished product:

Equipment:

* Fabric - 50cm x 40cm (you can play around with the sizes depending on how thick you want the strip to be).

* Scissors

Step 1:

Cut out the fabric in 5 equal strips, each about 40cm long (the width is up to you)

You will notice that the strip could be frayed, so here's how to deal with it without sewing up the seams. (Or you could sew it up if you like).

Step 2:

At both ends, fold a strip two-thirds along the width like this.

Step 3:

At both ends, fold the other side to overlap. You will need to keep the strip in tension.

Step 4:

Whilst keeping the tension in the strip, drape it over the headrest.

Step 5:

Cross over the bottom ends and make a knot (ribbon or dead knot - up to you).

Here, I am making a dead-knot.

Step 6:

Trim the loose ends and frayed bits down.

Time taken: 20 minutes

No one else is giving you love round here, but I think it looks good. It is very creative.

Good work.

btw, what material are your seats made of.... i have similar coloured trim, but is of velour kind

your interior design sure is unique tho....top marks for effort

just a couple of suggestions...

while folding the fabric into thirds, you might as well iron them so that you have proper creases.

instead of cutting fabric into strips, things just may be easier if you buy a roll of decent ribbon from a craft store or spotlight.. comes in all types of widths.

this mod is a bit strange, not something id do, but not bad.. reminds me of wedding gifts or something.. no wait- im starting to have flashbacks of that commercial where this teenager gets a giftwrapped corolla for her birthday.. (except the parents didnt mention it was a rental..) classic ad that.

it may need adjusting or reknotting after a while since the strips arent sewn in.
