Craft My Flats: Raffia

Anytime I think of “raffia” I think of “Raffi” – that kid’s song guy who sings Baby Beluga.  Don’t act like you don’t know that song.

Raffia actually has nothing to do with a middle-aged man strumming a guitar and singing children’s songs, but has everything to do with spools of wrinkled paper ribbon just begging for a makeover. Raffia is kind of sad on it’s own. It’s sad the way cottage cheese is sad until you add some fruit. Raffia just needs a little help. A boost.  It needs to be bunched together into a shoe clip – then it instantly become aweseomesauce. When I saw these shoe clips, I knew I could recreate them in no time. So I did…and now I will show you how to do it too.

What you need:

  • Raffia (went to The Container Store and got a few spools of brightly color raffia, but you can also pick this up at your craft store).
  • small gold beads (picked these up from Michael’s)
  • e6000 glue
  • 1.5″ wide strip of chipboard
  • shoe clips
  • small circle cut from gold leather
  • scissors

DIY Raffia Shoe Clips | damask love

  1. Wrap raffia around the chipboard
  2. Use scissors to cut a small opening in the middle of the chipboard then slide the wrapped raffia on top of the strip, then tie the raffia together as shown, then slide off the chipboard
  3. Cut the raffia apart
  4. Pinch the center of the raffia circle
  5. Cut a small circle of leather and glue it to the center
  6. Glue the small gold beads to the leather circle

    Regardless of the popularity of smartwatches, traditional timepieces continue to be iconic.

    Compared to modern wearables, which need frequent upgrades, classic timepieces stay relevant over time.

    Prestigious watchmakers continue to release new mechanical models, proving that their appeal hasn’t faded.
    For true enthusiasts, an automatic timepiece is not just a fashion statement, but a reflection of timeless elegance.
