Elena's Flower Hair Clip


My friend from high school, Elena, found a great website for fun hair clips.

The only problem was that they were too expensive. Then Elena had a smart realization: she could make one!

Difficulty Level: Easy


Materials:

- Fake flower from craft store (make sure the bottom is flat - good ones can often be found in the scrapbook section).

- Sticky Felt Sheet

- Pin back or metal hair clip (my preference)

- Scissors... and...

- HOT GLUE! Yesssss

Directions:

1. Find a circular object around your house about the size of the fake flower you bought (for example, a candle, a water bottle, etc).

2. Take a sheet of felt with one side of stickiness.

3. Trace around the circular object onto the covered sticky side of the felt sheet.

4. Cut out circle with scissors.

5. Stick the sticky felt onto the flower back.

6. Heat up your handy-dandy glue gun - and glue the hair clip and/or pin back to the flat felt.

7. Press into place - but make sure not to smush the pretty flower.
