How to Make a Folded Fabric Flower Pin Hair Clip

Make good use of your fabric scraps by turning them into a handmade hair accessory such as a flower hair clip or hair pin. Using a folded technique, you can transform colorful pieces of fabric into a handmade flower that may then be attached to a hair clip. The folded fabric flowers are easy to put together and require minimal, inexpensive craft supplies. Use all one type of fabric for the flower or create interesting, multicolored flowers with coordinating colors and patterns.

Things You'll Need

• Fabric
• Felt
• Stencil
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Button or rhinestone
• Hair pin or clip

Instructions

1. Trace a round object or stencil that is about 2 inches in diameter onto the piece of fabric eight times and cut out the pieces. The fabric circles can be the same color or have different patterns for a multicolored fabric flower. Cut a circle of felt about 1 inch in diameter.

2. Place a dot of glue in the middle of one circle, fold it in half and hold it for a few seconds. Place another dot of glue in the middle of the half-circle, fold it in half again and hold it for a few seconds. Repeat the process for all eight circles.

3. Glue each folded fabric piece onto the circle of felt with the point of each piece facing the center of the felt circle. Overlap each of the fabric pieces slightly. Glue the button or rhinestone onto the middle of the flower and glue the back of the flower to a hair pin or clip.
