Cute Fabric Flowers

Yesterday night was homecoming and I needed a little something for my hair. When I was at the store I saw flower barrettes and knew I could make them. When I got home I created these little beauties.

I didn't have a lot of time, so I didn't take pictures of each step but they were very easy to make. The most time consuming part was cutting out all the circles and scalloping them. I traced around a coffee cup to make the circles and then just scalloped them to have a flower with 5 petals. You also need a little bit of felt or material a little larger than a quarter. After you have 8 flower cutouts just take 1, fold it in half, then half again and put hotglue on the tip and glue it to the center of your little circle.You'll want to glue the next piece down, but glue it so it overlaps the previous petal. I realize now it's hard to explain without pictures. I'll have to make another sometime soon to get pictures. Anyways, after I had the flower done I glued sequins to the center to match my dress (my dress is black and sequin-y). Finally I glued a bobby pin to the bottom and voilá!

I think they turned out pretty good considering I made them on a whim and rushed the whole time. I will make a full tutorial on how to make them sometime soon...I hope :)
