Super Cool Fabric Flower Hair Clip Tutorial

I love a little hair candy.

Nothing too crazy.

Just a little something to spice up a do.

I made these hair pretties for a friend's birthday.

They look super cute clipped at the top of a pony tail

or hidden in a messy bun.

Since the holidays are coming up

and everyone is looking for gift ideas

I thought I'd share the how-to with you

so you can whip up a few for yourself or a friend.

Because handmade gifts are the best

Supplies:

-Fabric

-Needle and Thread

-Lighter or Fray Check (optional)

Step 1:

Cut out 5 or more circles, decreasing in size, from your fabric.

Just eye ball them. They don't have to be perfect.

*If you don't want your flowers to fray treat the ends with fray check or burn them slightly with a lighter (the burning only works on certain fabrics so be careful not to set anything on fire!)

Step 2:

Starting with the largest circle, pinch the fabric in the middle, creating some pleats and texture.

Hand sew to secure.

Step 3:

Continue the process of pinching and sewing each layer on top of the other, moving from biggest to smallest.

This is what mine looked like with all 5 layers.

Step 4:

Add a button, some beads or pearls to the center for a little flair.

Step 5:

Attach your fabric flower to a covered pinch clip or hair clip of your choice (using hot glue or by sewing it on).

And Viola!

A super cool fabric flower hair clip!

Package it pretty and give it to a friend!

And then make another one to keep for yourself :)
