How to Make a Flower Clip

I am really excited to be guest posting over on Someday Crafts today!



I am debuting these adorable little ruffly flowered numbers, so run over to see how to make a skirt. Now, see there in the picture the little circle on the right? It is a cute little hair clip to match, but as to not make my skirt tutorial abhorrently long I decided to do that piece over here.



How to Make a Flower Clip

Whilst making the skirt my sis trimmed off some scraps of the ruffles and tossed them aside. I grabbed them up knowing I could do something with them.

They were super skinny {varied between 1/2 and 1/4 inch} so I braided them together and wound them around to make a rosette.



Then, I cut some leaves out of the contrasting material and had my sis sew around the edges and down the middle to make them look even more like leaves.

I hot glued the leaves to a circle of material and then glued the rosette over the leaves.

Then just glue them to a snap clip and you're done! {sorry, I forgot to take pics of the back and now my niece has it}
