Supplies:
- Lace or trim
- Matching craft felt
- Bobby pin
- Scissors
- Glue Gun
- Needle and thread
With you needle and thread, start making a wide, loose running stitch across the bottom of the lace
After a few inches pull on the string. The lace will start to bunch up like so. Decide how long/large you want your flower and cut the lace accordingly
Gather the ends together and sew them together
Pinch together the frayed ends of the lace, fold them over twice, and hand stitch a simple hem
This is what your flower should look like at this point (pretty, right?)
Cut a small piece of felt and hot glue it to the back of the flower where the ends meet
Cut another piece of felt in a similar shape. Put it through the middle of the bobby pin and then hot glue that on top of the first piece of felt
Let dry completely before putting the bobby pin flower in your hair.
