Flower Clip Tutorial and a Party!

I've been home too long! I had my follow up appointment yesterday, I am getting better. :)

For the longest time I had been wanting to try a ribbon flower for my hair. I finally did! It is super easy. It might take a longer time if you don't have a sewing machine, eh, but it wont kill you! I love flowers. Silk flowers, ribbon flowers, bead flowers, plastic flowers, paper flowers you name it! So I want to try this flower party for next week. I hope you participate!

You have one week to create any craft, project, card anything you'd like with a flower theme. It needs to somehow have a flower. You can create a box with a flower, a greeting card with a flower, a flower necklace, a purse with a flower, a tissue flower anything that has a flower counts! I cant wait to see all the great projects!

Here is the flower tutorial:

Materials needed:
Fabric ( 44 in strip - 1 1/4 wide)
Thread
Needle
Clear Glass Flat Marble
Paper
Felt
Alligator Clip

1. Cut a strip of fabric. 44inches long- about 1 1/4 wide.
2. Stitch along the very edge completely on one side.

3. Once you have completed stitching, slowly pull the thread and the ribbon will begin pleating forming your flower.
4. Start forming your flower and stitching in place.

5. Glue a flat marble bead to paper and let it dry. After it dries, cut out around the bead.

6. Glue the clear marble to the center of your flower.

7. Glue a piece of felt and alligator clip to the back of the flower. Enjoy!

You can wear as a brooch.

I love how it looks in my hair! Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! Very easy to do. Now its your turn to create a project with a flower and share next week!
