I absolutely love all the cute flower pins and headbands everyone's been making lately, and I decided to whip up my own little how-to today. There are so many different ways to make fabric flowers. I think this is probably one of the most simple. I whipped it up in just a few minutes after a more involved project went sour this afternoon.
1. Cut a strip of fabric. I used a strip of a t-shirt that I'm going to do something with...someday.
2. Wrap it around itself into a spiral. If you want to shape it a bit more, do so...I kind of liked the simple uniformity of the plain spiral.
3. Add a few stitches. I went in one side, straight through to the other, and again on the other side of the circle, finishing off with a few stitches in the back center.
4. Glue it to a bobby pin. I used a glue gun. If you would like to, glue a small circle of felt to the bottom, covering the unsightly glue mess. I think three of these little flowers glued in a row to a headband would also be really cute.
That's it! Super quick and easy!
