I’ve got a bit of a thing for funky hairclips at the moment, but as we’re meant to be saving for our holiday I haven’t been able to buy any.
However, when I was down in Devon I was inspired by one of my niece’s hairclips, which had been made for her by one of their family friends.
I soon realised that it would be super easy to make, so I got to work!
First, I cut out two flower templates one slightly bigger than the other, and pinned them to scraps of coloured felt and cut them out.
Then I pinned the small flower to the bigger flower and sewed round the edge to join the two together using contrasting cotton.
Then I positioned a colourful button in the middle of the flower and a hair-clip at the back and sewed on the button and the clip with the same thread to make everything secure.
Voila!
…and it only cost around 60p to make. A steal!
Fantastic! I love the colours. I might have to make me one of these! xxx
YAY! I can’t believe it!! I’ve been doing these felt things for more than a year! But I haven’t made a hair-clip! Thanks for the idea!!
Love it!!
Super cute! ♥ it!
WOW! I can’t believe you made those with no tutorial or anything! It looks fantastic, and WHAT A DEAL indeed! Thanks for joining in Saturday Steals this week!
glad you liked the hairclips – should have put a patent on it!!! (only kidding) you could do the same and put a pin on it and use it on a bolaro top as a button or a badge. xx
Oh my gosh! What a cute idea! And it came together so quickly! I can see making those as gifts for all my nieces! Thanks for the idea!
