Step 2: Enough to Give the Scissors Some Action
Before we unleash our inner fashion designer, let's get all prepared! You'll need several things at your disposal:
- Fabric (Don't know where to start? Fabric.com has a great selection that you can check out)
- Hair pins or hair clips
- Needle and thread
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Buttons for the flower centers
Raid your old fabric stash or hit the local craft stores to get started.
Step 3: Threading The Petals to Style
Once you've selected your fabric, cut them into circles. The fabric circles will form the petals for your fabric flowers. The size of your circle will depend on how large you want your flower to be. For a medium-sized flower, a diameter of about 4 inches should do the trick.
Step 4: Flower Power Engagement
Fold your fabric circle in half once and then in half again. You will end up with a little fabric pouch. Thread your needle, make a knot at the end of the thread, then sew through the corner of the folded side. Repeat the procedure with the remaining circles.
Step 5: Embellishing the Center
Once all your petals are threaded onto the same thread, pull it tightly. This will cause the petals to gather and complete the flower shape. Secure by making several knots with the thread.
Step 6: Meet Your Hair Pins
Did you think we were done? Wait until you see the magic that embellishments can work on your flowers! Just secure the button, bead, or any other embellishment of your choice to the centre of your flower with the hot glue gun.
The last step involves attaching the completed fabric flower to the hair pin or clip with the hot glue gun, or if you prefer, you could also sew it on.
And voila! Your DIY fabric flower hair pin is ready to sprinkle some magic on your everyday look. Experiment with different types of fabric, colors, and embellishments to give your hair pins a unique twist that says 'you'.
