Sequin Flowers

These little sequin flowers are a perfect project to do while you are watching a nighttime TV show.  They are so adorable and shiny…it is a fun way to add a little bling…

 

to your hair, purse or shirt. 

Supplies:

1” sequins (Hobby Lobby)

needle

thread

coordinating felt

seed beads

scissors

alligator clip or pin back

 

1.  I started out by cutting a 3’’ x 3” piece of red felt.  Then using a needle and thread I sewed my sequins on one at a time just like you would a button.  I sewed mine on going through each hole twice to secure it.  For the big flower my bottom layer had 12 sewn on sequins. 2.  Next fold a bunch of sequins in half.  Sew those on spacing them in between the first layer of flat sequins (12 sequins also). 3.  Then add one last layer of seven folded sequins… 4. At this point you can add a fourth layer of sequins or add beads.  I just sew them on two at a time and then fill in the bare spots with one bead at a time.  5.  Next flip it over and cut off the excess felt.  6.  Cut out another circle of red felt and cut a small slit in it. 7.  Slide an alligator clip into the slit and then hot glue it onto the the piece of felt connected to your flower.  You can obviously use a pin back if you’d rather make a sequined flower pin.Have a bad hair day and then stick this gorgeous flower in.  No one will realize your hair looks like crap 😉

Here is one I made where I used seed beads to make stamens in the middle of the flower.
