There are so many beautiful fabric flowers being made out there. They can be used in your hair, on your bags or even jewelry. I can sew a little, but feel more comfortable with a glue gun anytime. So I set off to make pretty flowers without any sewing.
Start with wired ribbon, any size or color you like. Cut a strip 18-24″ long, depending on the size of flower you want in the end. I find that I like about 20″ the best.
Find the wire on the ends of the ribbon and start gathering and pulling as you go.
I keep pulling till the ribbon is a gathered as much as it will go and so it starts curling around itself. To help keep it tight, I tie knots in the wire next to the ribbon. Then I use hot glue to secure it all together, in the back. Just add the clip to the back and the rhinestone to the middle and you’re finished.
They can be clipped in your hair, as is, or you can add them to a headband.
You could also make your own headbands out of pretty elastic, but we already had these.
All these ribbons were different and just as easy to work with.
I like this one the best.
They are so easy and my girls love them. I might try putting some of these on a shirt next. I guess that means I might have to do a little sewing.
