Thank you Sarah for coming up with the idea for me to make hair accessories!
Here's a few inspired creations - easy, medium and hard.
1. Cut out a simple oblong shape and a smaller rectangular piece of felt.
2. Pinch the bow together and secure in the center with hot glue.
3. Wrap the rectangular piece around the center and secure with hot glue.
4. Glue the finished bow onto a hair clip.
1. Cut long 1 inch strips of felt.
2. Tie a knot at the end.
3. Start wrapping the felt around the knot, occasionally twisting the fabric and securing with hot glue.
4. Tuck under the end and hide with glue.
5. Cut out some felt leaves. Make them big enough to use as a base to glue all your rosettes.
6. I decided to jazz up my leaves with a little thread.
7. Glue it all to a large clip or headband.
Booya!
1. Cut small squares - mine were 1 inch and 1/2 inch squares.
2. Cut each square into a wide, flat bottomed petal.
3. Pinch the petals and secure with hot glue.
4. Glue the larger petals around the edge of a 2 1/2 inch circle of felt.
5. Repeat by filling in the gaps between those petals with the smaller ones.
6. Make little snips all the way round a 1 inch circle of felt. Fill the center of the flower with a bit of hot glue. Place it on top of the center of the flower.
7. Use a pencil or chopstick to push the center of the circle down into the flower.
8. Secure your hair clip with hot glue. I also stitched mine on since I was using a small clip.
Voila!
Not bad. I only burned myself once with the hot glue gun.
