National Craft Month: St. Patrick's Day Fabric Flower Clips

Everyone needs a little green for Saint Patrick's Day! Here is how Emrie and I will be showing our green!!!

There are a million different ways to make fabric flowers, but these are two that I used because they are so fast and simple.

Supplies:
2 types of fabric
Button or embellishment
Felt
Hot glue gun
Alligator clip

Directions for Four Leaf Clover:

Cut two different sized circles {5 of each size}...For one flower you only need two different size circles, but I was making one for me and one for Emrie so I had four.

Using one circle as the base, fold one circle in half...
Then fold it in half again so it is in a pie shape
Then glue the pie shape to the base circle
Do that with all four circles and they look like a clover
Repeat the process with the second fabric and glue on top of the first clover
Glue an embellishment to the center {I used a decorative button}
Glue a felt circle to the back for reinforcement
Glue the alligator clip to the back
Now you have a festive Saint Patrick's Day Clover Clip!

Directions for a simple Rosette:

Start with a strip of fabric

Glue it in half

Start at one end roll the fabric and glue it onto itself to start making a circle

Roll the fabric circle out as far as you want the flower size then roll the rest of it back onto itself and glue in the middle

Glue all flowers to a piece of felt

Glue the alligator clip on the back

Now you have St. Patrick's day hair clips for mother and daughter:)

Let's see how long Emrie keeps hers in her hair!
