Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make a Bobby Pin Flower
Creating your own accessories can be a fun and creative process. One popular choice is making a bobby pin flower. Follow these steps to create your very own:
Materials Needed:
– Bobby pins (5-6)
– Fabric (preferably in floral patterns)
– Scissors
– Glue gun and glue sticks
– Needle and thread
Step 1: Cutting the Fabric
Using your scissors, cut out small circles of fabric. Each circle should be around an inch in diameter. You’ll need at least 5-6 circles, depending on the size of your flower.
Step 2: Creating the Petals
Next, fold each circle in half and then fold it in half once more so it resembles a quarter-circle. With your needle and thread, make a knot at the end and begin sewing through the folded part of the fabric. Make sure you sew through all layers of the flower petal.
Step 3: Shaping the Petals
After sewing through all the layers, pull the thread tightly so that the layers bunch up and create a petal shape. Tie the thread around the base of the petal to hold its shape.
Step 4: Assembling the Flower
Take your bobby pins and begin applying hot glue to the top of each one. Start attaching the petals to the glue on the bobby pin, one by one. Make sure to overlap each petal slightly to give it a fuller look.
Step 5: Final Touches
After attaching all the petals to the bobby pins, you can add some green felt leaves to the bottom of the flower to give it a more natural look. Simply cut small leaf shapes out of green felt and glue them to the bottom of the flower. And voila! You’ve now created your very own bobby pin flower accessory.
Creating a bobby pin flower is a fun and easy way to add some flair to your hair. With just a few simple materials and steps, you can make a gorgeous accessory that’s sure to turn heads. Give it a try and see what kind of flower designs you can come up with!
