Felt flowers

I saw several posts about making felt flowers, it was time to try one now. I chose an orange a shiny red felt clothes to make 2 flowers. I cut out a 4 petal layout in paper and used that to cut the felt clothes. Next, placed petals one on top of each other, alternating the petals. I made red petals and orange petals. Finally, I stitched all the petals together along with a matching bead on the top.

I glued the red flower to the plain hair clip I got from Michaels. I tried using the hair clip directly on her hair, it was a little too tight. Just to be on safer side,  I clipped the hair clip onto my daughter's hair band so that she can use it with no side effects :)

Now comes the biggest challenge.. to get my daughter to keep the hair band on for a while!! After trying some things, my mom suggested to put the hairband on her and show her on the mirror. That idea worked and she loved what she saw :) !!
