flower power!


SUPPLIES
Here is what you need to make these flower clips:
-flowers (Wal-Mart $1)
-brads (used for scrapbooking)
-hair clips (Sally's $5 for 100)
-cute ribbon
-hi-temp glue gun

MAKING THEM
-pull out the plastic center piece of the flower
(there will be a hole in the center)
-on some of the flowers I combined 2, to
make a fuller flower!
-place a brad through the hole & secure it
-measure & cut your ribbon
(measure your ribbon by opening up the clip, run it
through the center, up over the top, down around
the pinchy part and end it on the bottom of the
pinchy part, make sense?)
-glue the ribbon on
-run some hot glue down the center of the ribbon &
quick enough (so your glue doesn't cool
& you don't get burned) open your clip up &
start in the middle, go over the top down the pinchy things
& to the bottom!
-FINALLY, glue the flower onto the clip
& you're done!
SUPER CUTE

You finally did a "how to" for your cute crafties! Love it! Thanks. Now, I'm still waiting on the cute skirts :D

These are great and I think that the sisters here would love them. They might have to use a little different method as some things are hard to find or not available. Is the ribbon just to cover the clip or does it show somewhere? Thanks
