Little Satin Flower Clip Tutorial

So fun and easy!

You will need
1 low temp glue gun
needle and thread
1- 2 inch square of felt
11- 2 1/2 inch satin squares
5- 2 inch satin squares
1 small pom pom
wire
headband or ribbon covered alligator clip

Carefully burn the edges of the satin. I didn't bother cutting out circles because the heat makes the satin curl up and when you gather it, it will look like you used circles...just without the hassle of having to cut them out!

Fold the petals in half, with the satin edge on the outside and stitch through the middle of the petal.

You will need to use three seperate threads for each set of 5 petals. This would look adorable with 6 or 7 and multiple layers of petals too.

When you have all the petals gathered it is time to carefully glue them around the felt. I love my low temp glue gun, it is all I use. Glue around the outer edge and adjust the petals as needed

Trim the thread.

Now you are ready to add the second layer. It is a smaller space so you will need to cinch up the thread a little more. Add the glue and work around the flower gently pulling on the thread to gather the petals.For the small inside layer I tie off the thread and adjust the petals and glue it all at one time.

SO CUTE!!

Before I add the center, I pull apart the petals and fluff up the flower so it looks nice and full.

For the center in this flower I covered a soft pom pom with satin and wrapped wire around it to secure it.

I trimmed the excess satin off and sealed the edges. You could also cover a button with the satin. That would be so cute too!

Squeeze some glue in the center of the flower and add your embelishment. The great thing about the wool felt is if you glue something to it...it isn't moving. I love using wool felt for most of my creations. It also gives the flower a professional finished look.

How cute is this?

Let me know if you try it!!

Who's Spooky

Muffins.

Take a look at this little muffin, if she wasn't sleeping I would want to squeeze her adorable little cheeks! Jill Photography took this amazing picture of our newest Big Stack hair bow, it turned out adorable.

On a totally different note....

here is the Zucchini-Chocolate Chip muffin recipe I promised to share with you on our facebook page.

24 muffins (which might not be enough....)

In a bowl combine

3 cups of flour

1 1/2 sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

Combine in another bowl

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup vegetable oil

1/2 milk plus 2 Tbs lemon juice

Stir into the dry ingredients

Fold in

2 cups shredded zucchini

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

nuts...if you want.

Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups about two-thirds full.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins test done.

These were delightful. I think next time I will make 2 batches and freeze some for after school snacks for the kiddos. Enjoy!

Halloween Vintage Mum

Up-cycled Jean Flower

I've been getting so sick of seeing my Goose walk around in her hole-y jeans, so we cut the bottoms off today. I ripped them into 1 1/2-inch strips and then cut the strips into 4 inch lengths and sewed the strips into a flower. Then, I attached the 3 ivory roses, like the ones we put in the small rose and polka dots clip (tutorial coming soon). I let her pick out a fabric wrapped headband to attach it to and she was set! I really love the way it turned out...I am off to hunt down the rest of her pants, lol.

Ribbon Bloom in Stripes Tutorial

A Ribbon Bloom Headband~

For this adorable headband you are going to need the following items

1 low-temp glue gun and glue sticks

1 metal headband

3 strips of ribbon 32 inches in length

2 strips of ribbon 24 inches in length

Felt piece

Heat seal the ends of the ribbon to prevent fraying. I tie a knot at the end of the ribbon leaving about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of ribbon so I have something to hold onto. Twist and glue until you reach the end of the ribbon. I made a short little video clip on the makings of the ribbon blooms, it is at the bottom of the post...I hope you like it, lol. :)
Make all five blooms, and then you can decide how you want to glue them together.
I arrange the blooms on the felt before I glue them to get a nice idea of how the headband will look when it is finished. This is where you can hide any mistakes or pokey little ribbon pieces that didn't get tucked into the bloom...
Glue your first bloom onto the felt...
After I have all four blooms on I hold them down to make sure they are on for good!
You need to trim the excess felt...
Turn it around and glue the fifth bloom on the top...
I like to glue the blooms about an inch from the bottom of the headband, this generally puts the piece right above the ear...
Take a one inch piece of felt that you have measured to the length of the bloom piece..
While you are securely holding the bloom piece to the headband, apply the glue to the strip, and work your way down...
Make sure the felt is sticking together, you won't need a ton of glue, that will make it look messy....

Oh my goodness, I love it! The striped ribbon is so cute and a lot less stiff then a solid color grosgrain and so much fun to use, you're going to love it!~
And there you have it! Your own Ribbon Bloom in Stripes Headband. Well done!~

I hope the video helps out a bit....
