Lately I've decided to experiment with creating flower hair clips. I've always avoided projects like these because I don't enjoy sewing, so once I realized all you need is scissors, old fabric, and hot glue, I was so excited.For this project, you will need just a few scraps of cotton cloth. You can have all one color but I chose to do two for this one.
- Start with a large piece cut with the edges scalloped, which is on the far right. You can follow a pattern but I don't. It turns out fine if the edges aren't perfect, this is a forgiving design. You'll also need a set of four slightly smaller scalloped circles, and then four more that are slightly smaller yet. You can see I didn't bother ironing the fabric- its okay, it will still turn out fine.
- Lay out the largest circle and on top, hot glue on the second largest circles, by folding them into quarters and glueing them evenly spaced around. I tried to show that in the photo, but its tricky to describe. Hopefully you can see what I meant. :)
3. Then repeat the same process with the slightly smaller scalloped circles- I used the patterned fabric on top of the solid grey.
4. All done! You can leave it as-is, or top it with a pretty bead or hot glue a button on. In this case I topped mine with another layer of four (smaller yet) scalloped circles, and then pinned a little white flower that was part of a scrap-booking embellishment. You can then attach it to a bobby pin, or if you have thick hair like me you can glue it to a clip.
