Remember my felt flower hair clip from a few weeks ago? I had to have a small gift that represented by blog for a gift exchange at a GNO. I didn’t read the invitation clearly enough so I didn’t realize it until the night before! So I grabbed some extra fabric scraps left from a jelly roll and tried again!
Instead of the circles I used last time I decided to try with a 4 petal flower shape for each clip. I was working with 2 1/2 inch jelly roll strips so the petals are each only 2 1/inches wide. I’d love to make these with 3 or 3 1/2 inch flowers. I glued them onto a felt circle with slits for a narrow headband and a clip.
The nice thing about using cotton instead of felt is I can make the whole blossom on the sewing machine in less than a min! I cut out and made these 6 in one short evening! And since they are on the smaller size you can wear more than one at a time!
Your color combos are so pretty, love these!
