This was a really fun project that I will probably be making more of in the future. I've been in love with this blog and all their amazing fabric flowers. I wish I had the time and materials to make them all!! I just bought a bunch of felt today to attempt some of these beautiful roses.
Materials required:
Hair barrettes (found at many craft stores in either the bead or craft section)
Hot glue and hot glue gun
Various things to glue on top
Here are some of the ones I've made...
I made this one from half of a zipper. I circled the zipper pieces, sewed them together, then sewed beads in the centers. Then I glued them all on the barrette.
This one I made from rosettes (fabric rolled, then swirled into a flower shape).
This one was from jeans. I cut various sizes of circles, folded them in half twice, then glued them on to a circle of felt. I stuck a thumbtack in the center. This one is actually glued to a clip.
This is one of my favorites. I followed this tutorial to make the zipper rose, then glued it onto a small barrette.
I love all the options, and I can't wait to make more. As you can see, the possibilities are endless, whatever you can hot glue to a barrette. They're so much more fun than plain barrettes, I want to make on in every color!! I've been wearing my hair in a side bun with the barrette on the side lately.
This is a really bad picture, but kind of gives you the idea.
Seriously, check out the blog Fabric Bows and More if you want some awesome and cute ideas!!
