Pink and Black Fabric Hair Flowers

After layering many fabric circles one top of each other and gluing them together with a hot glue gun they are ready for embellishments!
Walmart has inexpensive buttons to use for this project.  I cut off the bulging back metal loop with wire cutters then hot glued the buttons on the flowers. I love how charming the crystal buttons look in the center of these fabric flowers. 
Burning the edges of the fabric makes the circles curl up like a real flower.
Here are the finished flowers.
 I glued metal hair clips on the back so my daughter can wear them in her hair.

Silk Flower Hair Accessories

 Silk Flowers for my girl's piggy tails! I finally have hair accessories to match my daughters church dresses.

My dear friend and I made these hair accessories today. We had so much fun creating and designing these beauties!



I purchased silk fabric and used some old skirt linings and suit jacket linings to make these beautiful hair accessories. As usual, I have to craft using something I already own and I have to use up what scraps I have laying around. I cut many different sizes of circles and spent time over the flame of a candle to complete this project. I burned the edges of the circle shaped fabric and it caused them to curl. Then I layered them on top of each other and glued them together using a hot glue gun.

 I used floral flowers for the hair accessories below. I took the fake floral flower apart and glued each petal on one piece at a time. I thought they turned out bright and cheerful. I used old blouse fabric covered buttons for the center as a delicate accent.











Here they are on display for me to look at and enjoy for a day! I can't wait to do my daughters hair tomorrow! So many hair accessories to chose from. It was good to chat with a good friend today and work on this craft together. Thank you dear friend!

Zipper Flower Clips


Zippers....Zippers....and more zippers! I found a useful way to reuse these wonderful zippers. I removed them from various slacks and shorts. I loved the way they added an interesting detail to the flower hair clips.
