We made these at Girls' Camp this year. They are a cinch! My friend told me about the idea and then I practiced a few and made it very simple. You can add these to headbands, hairclips, and pins for your blouse or purse.
You'll need:
silky fabric (only a teeny bit, if it's just for you!)
a candle and a match
scissors
needle and thread
hot glue gun
beads, sequins, etc. for flower centers
To make:
Cut circle or oval shapes in varying sizes out of the fabric. Probably about 5" wide at most. Do NOT worry AT ALL about making these perfect or smooth - you'll just be wasting your time if you do. Once you have a stack of circles, light your candle. You might want to be near a sink or have a tub of water handy, just in case. Be careful! Carefully hold the fabric circles, one at a time, next to not in the flame. You'll see the fabric melt - usually quite quickly. Rotate the circle around so all the edges are melted. Repeat for all circles. Now layer the circles together until you get the look you want. Use and needle and thread to sew them together in the center. Add beads or sequins as desired. Attach to pins, headbands, elastics, purses, etc!
