More Felt Flowers

Yesterday's giveaway is still going on, so head over there to enter!


In the meantime, I've been making more felt flowers like the ones I made for my winter wreath.   I decided to turn them into some pretty darn cute hair accessories for my two little cuties.



Here is how I made my flowers. 



Start out with a circle of felt. The bigger the circle, the bigger the flower will be.  Don't make your circle perfect, an organic shape is what you want.






Start cutting around the edge of the circle in a spiral.






You will end up with a long piece of felt.  Leave a circle at the end of the piece like this:






Starting with the pointy end, start rolling the felt to create a cinnamon roll type shape:







Keep rolling and rolling until you get the end with the circle piece attached.









Turn your flower over and the circle piece will lay on the back side, providing kind of a base.







Glue it down with a hot glue gun.






And you are done! I attached one to a barrette for Lula:







And I glued two small ones to a piece of elastic for a simple headband for Jane:




It's addicting and so easy!


Now,  go enter in my 100th post giveaway if you haven't already!
