How to Make Whimsical Fabric Flower Hair Clips

How to Make Whimsical Fabric Flower Hair Clips? You just need a little fabric, some hair clips, and a flame.

Materials for Fabric Flowers:

• synthetic fabric in whatever colors and styles catch your eye.  I used 1/8th of a yard each of five different types of complimentary fabrics, some sheer, some opaque.
• a candle
• scissors
• something for the center of the flower.  I used Swarovski crystals, but rhinestones, buttons, sequins, anything would work.
• needle and thread (or glue, if you prefer)

Instructions for Making Fabric Flowers

First, cut your fabric into circles of varying diameters.  Don't worry about being precise, or getting the circle perfect.  Really, you can just freehand it and be awfully sloppy about your cutting technique.  Put your kindergartner on the task and it will be just fine.  It's that easy.  I want to make a quick comment about the type of fabric here.  You really need to be sure that you get completely synthetic material.  No cotton or silk can sneak in there, or the technique won't work.  I found a great selection of shiny synthetics in the formal dress section of Joann Fabrics.

Next, light your candle.  Hold the cut edge of your circle close to the flame, and you will see it start to melt and curl.  This is what we want!  (I had total flashbacks to my 4th grade science fair experiment on flammability of synthetic versus natural fabrics when doing this step.)  Melt and curl all the edges, and you'll have not only sealed the edges from fraying, but you'll have a perfectly shaped layer for your flower.

Stack the circles so that you have a nicely layered flower. Again, this is incredibly easy. I put my first-grader in charge of this job. There are no real rules, just stack from biggest to smallest, and you'll have a beautiful flowers.

Use a needle and thread to secure the stack of petals and to sew any center in the flower if you want to. You could also easily use glue to stack the layers together and glue a center in the flower if you want a completely no-sew project.

Glue the completed flower to a headband, a pin, or a hairclip for an easy and gorgeous accessory.

Quite Shocking and Historical Moment!! The 25-year-old singer Lady Gaga was spotted in a sexy one shoulder black and yellow dress by Versace as she made her way out of the La Maison De Fashion on August 12 in Los Angeles.

The “Born This Way” singer looked lady like and stunned onlookers with her feminine side in the little black dress with purple tulip printed on it and gold button detailing.

We always wanted to use words like Gorgeous, Beautiful, Pretty, Girly for this bizarrely dressed singer and it is right time to do that. The popular pop star looked stylish, gorgeous and beautiful.

Lady Gaga is mostly spotted in weird dresses, wigs and heelless shoes but this time she was not at all looking out-of-this-world or over-the-top. She finished off her stylish look with black accessories including Christian Louboutin Daffodil pumps, black clutch and a pair of dark sunglasses.

As of Lady Gaga’s hairstyle, this time it was also very pretty. She wore her blond locks down in sleek and shiny blowout and looked gorgeous. May be she’s got tired of her crazy costumes and tried out this girly look.
