Tutorial: Felt Flower Clip



I make this felt flower clip often because it is SO easy and so cute!

What you will need:


- felt of the color of your choice
- scissors
-a cup or something with a round bottom to trace
- a pen/sharpie 
-something to bare down on (like a book, desk)
- needle and thread (any color, you won't be able to see it)
-glue gun
-clips (you can get them at Hobby Lobby)


Okay to start trace out six circles on your felt using your pen and the bottom of a cup (or whatever you have found)
It will look like this when you are done tracing:


Then cut out all of the six circles


One of these circles is the bottom of the flower. 
Next take a circle and fold it in half and then in half again


Next sew this circle onto your bottom circle only sewing the very middle, like so:


Then do this again three times with three more circles, fold in half, fold in half again, then sew to the middle


Then take the last circle and fold just like the others and sew into the middle of the whole flower.
Its easier to do this if you go ahead and put your needle through it to keep it together and then sew to the bottom like so:


Then you will have your flower finished!


Next you need to hot glue the clip to the bottom of the flower


And Vuala! Your felt flower clip is ready to be worn :)

 


And this is Harper wearing one I made :)
