A method of styling a piece of fabric in a decorative manner using a fashion accessory tool, the method comprising:
- providing the fashion accessory tool, wherein the fashion accessory tool comprises an arm pivotally coupled by a first extendable feature with a base plate at a first end of the arm and a first end of the base plate, the arm having at least two openings, wherein the arm has a closed position and an open position, the closed position wherein the arm is fastened at a second end of the arm to a second end of the base plate by a second extendable feature between the second end of the base plate and a fastener on the second end of the base plate, and the open position wherein the arm is not fastened at the second end of the arm to the second end of the base plate;
- positioning a portion of the fabric between the arm and the base plate while the arm is in the open position;
- after positioning the portion of the fabric between the arm and the base plate, securing the fabric between the arm and the base plate by pivoting the arm to the closed position to deform a deformable band between the arm and the base plate, wherein the deformable band engages the extendable features;
- and
- weaving an end of the fabric through the at least two openings after positioning the portion of the fabric between the arm and the base plate.
A method of using a fashion accessory tool, comprising:
- securing fabric in the fashion accessory tool between a base plate and an arm pivotally attached to the base plate by a first extendable feature at a first end of the arm and a first end of the base plate, wherein securing comprises fastening the arm at a second end of the arm to a second end of the base plate, wherein a second extendable feature is between the second end of the base plate and a fastener on the second end of the base plate;
- and
- weaving the fabric through at least two openings in the arm, wherein the fabric can be adjusted after securing the fabric in the fashion accessory tool by further pulling the fabric through the at least two openings.
