I found this fabulous flower tutorial on Sew Ritzy Titzy. I have been obsessed with making these lately. Since I have been “so-not-in-the-mood” to do my hair lately I have been twisting it up with bobby pins and claws and then putting one of these in. I am hoping these cuties make my ‘do’ presentable. I made my first one exactly like the tutorial but it was too bulky for my hair so I started only making one layer with 6 or 10 petals. Then I have been cutting felt circles and putting a decorative stitch on them and then covering a button to match and then hot gluing it together. Aren’t they fab?
Then I stitch a pin back or alligator clip on a piece of felt and glue it on the back. These are 4 of the 8 I have made. I gave two away as Christmas gifts. I have another project I will show you tomorrow of how I used the other two of these babies.
soo cute!! I especially love the button!
beautiful and easy…sounding, of course, you make everything crafty look easy… 🙂
what a great idea, thanks for sharing!
whose hair wouldn’t look fabulous with one of those in it?
I’ve seen those! So cute! Now what I really want to see is a pic of one of those in her hair….in a few months of course!
HER hair…I want a pic of one in YOUR hair 🙂
Those are SOOO cute!
By the way…Isaac is here…now it’s your turn! 🙂
ok! I made some! Here’s the link: http://the-little-moments.blogspot.com/2009/01/something-out-of-nothing.html
I made the the easiest way possible…haha… No fabric covered buttons for me! I’ve got a huge stash of buttons, so I was able to find some that looked good enough for the middle. I do want to make some that have 8 petals; I think yours look really great!
