DIY Flower Hair Pin



*how to make this adorable hair pin*

-step one-
cut the square of felt into 12 even pieces. the squares do not need to be exact, this is to ensure that the flowers are of a uniform size should you choose to make more than one

-step two-
fold one square in half. using a pair of sharp scissors, cut a semi circle to make a full circle when unfolded. trim the circle as necessary.

-step three-
cut the circle in a spiral, trimming a small piece off to make uniform.
-step four-
beginning from the outside edge, being to curl the felt in a coil. place a dab of hot glue to secure the beginning of the coil.

-step five-
finish wrapping the felt around itself. secure the end with hot glue.

-step six-
from a felt square, cut out 2 leaves and two small circles

-step seven-
glue one circle on to the back of the flower. take a bobby pin and put the other small circle through it. glue the circle with the bobby pin onto the circle on the back of the flower. hold in place for a moment to allow the glue to set.
