Flower Hair Pin Tutorial
Flower Hair Pin Tutorial
MATERIALS:
* 17ish inch strip of fabric (1-2 inches wide)
* 1 inch circle of felt
* Hair pin
* Button or bead for center of flower
* Glue
STEP 1:
Cut your fabric strip. It can be any fabric you prefer but should be thin enough to gather. Here I used a raw silk. The strip can be approximately 17-20 inches long, depending on how many layers of petals you want your flower to have. Leave the edges raw.
STEP 2:
Sew a basting stitch down one edge of the fabric strip.
STEP 3:
Pull one end of the thread to begin gathering the fabric. Once it is gathered to your liking, tie of the ends. 
STEP 4:
Coil the fabric to create layers of petals. The gathered fabric will naturally want to do this.
STEP 5:
It's time to assemble the flower. Choose a button or bead for the center of your flower. Next, glue each end of the strip where you want them to secure the petals.
STEP 6:
Glue the felt circle to the back of the flower and the button on the center front.
STEP 7:
Glue the hair pin to the felt on the back of the flower...
...and TADA!
Very cute and seems easy but what if you don't sew? Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteThere are various websites to teach you how to sew and you can go to a sewing class. Or you can get someone else to do it for you! Lol! x Hope it works!
DeleteOr you can just hand stitch it.....that'll work just fine.
