Flower & Feather Hair Clip Tutorial

It is one of my sisters birthdays today. 

So i decided to surprise her with a happy birthday balloon, 

a cupcake from Sweet Tooth Fairy and a homemade hair clip.

To Make my hair clip you need the top 4 layers of flowers.

Layer 1: Large Crocheted Mallorie Flower (one of my own designs)

Layer 2: Colored Vinyl (found at joann's in the area that has fabric on big rolls)

Layer 3: a smaller 5 petal flower

Layer 4: this flower was cut out from a piece of sheer material with tons of flowers on it.

Step 1: Stitch Layer 1 & 2 together.

Add some feathers, tuck underneath  

 Sew Layer 3 on.                            

Sew on Layer 4

Add a pearl in the middle of layer 4 and a clip to the back and your finished.

Happy Crafting!!

Yarn Flower Tutorial

Crocheted Flowers Carrie Style

  I an totally addicted to making flowers lately but even though there are a lot

 of different kinds out there I still have a hard time finding ones that I want to make. 

So I sat down the other day and played  and played and played around with

 this flower until it came together. I tried two layers like the one below but ended

 up adding an extra row and liked it even more.

 You can add a gem, a button or leave the middle alone. 

 now what to do with it once it is finished. 

• add a clip, hairpin or headband to the back of it and use it to add color in your hair
• attach it to your purse as a  cute embellishment
• add it to your shirt or cute belt 
• the possibilities are endless. check out other flowers and see what people ended up doing with them.

Try these in all different colors. solids and color changing skeins.
