Natural or artificial silk can be sewn by hand, with small oblique stitches. Short edges twice fold about 1 cm, and then stitch the seam. There are two kulisks. Cut the elastic band in half and each piece into the kulisku with a safety pin. To fix the edges of the elastic, put on them decorative tips.

Please note that such a decor will make the product a little heavier, so it is more suitable for a pareo made of not too thin fabric.
