Felt Flower Clips

Gianna is getting a bit of a mullet. I always have to pull her bangs 

back so her hairs looks a bit more 'tamed' (if that's even possible!)

A crafty friend of mine, Lindsey, at My Handmade Gifts

crocheted these adorable little flowers for me! I love them, 

and best of all they are so inexpensive (6/$8)!! Plus, they 

don't slip out of fine/thin baby hair because of the felt!

(Can you tell I'm just a little bit excited about this)

Here's a little tutorial on how to make your own. 

Supplies:

felt

crochet flower

embroidery floss

needle

hot glue

hair clip

First trace your hair clip onto the felt, twice. And cut them out.

Then you'll cut a little slit in one of the felt pieces, because

you'll slide the top part of the clip through it. 

(See picture for better explanation!)

Next glue the top piece onto the barrett. Try to 

stay away from the edges where the embroidery floss will be;

the glue makes it harder to stitch through.

Also, do not glue the felt onto the widest part of the barrett.

(again, see below)

Don't glue that part down yet!

Next you'll take your needle and embroidery floss.

Thread your needle and stitch around the edges, through both

pieces of felt. This is just decorative stitching for looks. 

Next you'll take the ends of your embroidery floss

and glue it between the felt and the wide part of the barrett.

This will just keep the floss from unraveling. 

Take the ends and hot glue it to the felt and barrett.

After gluing!

Next you'll glue your crocheted flower to the top of the barrett! 

And your done!! Tada!!

And don't forget to order your flowers from

in her Etsy shop, just email her! She's so great

(And no, she did not ask or pay me to do this review!)
