Hello there! This is a tutorial on how to make a
hair flower just like the one pictured above. Enjoy!
Supplies Needed: scissors, needle and thread,
alligator hair clip (or any other type of hair clip), button (I used a cover
button kit to cover my button in fabric), circular object to trace around (I
used a small bowl about 3" in diameter), fabric, small amount of felt that
is close to the same color as your fabric, pencil or pen that will lightly show
up on your fabric, and a hot glue gun.
 |
|
1. Trace your circular object
onto your fabric 5 times using your pen or pencil. |
 |
| 2. You should have 5
circles drawn onto your fabric. |
 |
| 3. Cut out your circles.
|
 |
4. You should have five circles
of fabric.
|
|
 |
| 5. Thread your needle and
knot the end. |
 |
| 6. Take one circle and fold
it in half.
|
 |
| 7. Fold that circle in half
again, so you have a triangle. |
 |
| 8. Push your needle into
the corner of your triangle, but don't pull the need all the way through.
|
 |
9. Push your needle through your triangle the
other direction but, again, don't pull the needle all the way through.
|
|
 |
10. Keep pushing and pulling
your needle in and out until your triangle looks something like this.
|
|
 |
11. Now pull your needle all
the way through. You now have one flower petal.
|
|
 |
12. Repeat steps 6-11 on the
rest of your fabric circles. It should look something like this when you are
done.
|
|
 |
13. Connect the last
"petal" with the first by pushing your needle through the corner of
the first.
|
|
 |
| 14. Knot your thread and
cut of the extra. |
 |
15. You should have something
that looks like this.
|
|
 |
16. Cut out a circle of felt
about 1" in diameter, then hot glue it onto the back of your flower.
|
|
 |
17. Cut a small rectangle as
long as your circle (about 1") and clip your alligator clip onto it like
shown above.
|
|
 |
18. Hot glue the back of your
clip/felt rectangle onto your felt circle.
|
|
 |
19. Now glue a button onto the
front (either a normal button, like shown above, or use a button cover kit to
cover your button, like shown below).
|
|
 |
20. Clip your new flower into
your hair and wait for those compliments!
