Craft Nite...

My dear friend Erin hosted all the ladies from our life-group to come over for dinner + a craft.

Craft: do-it-yourself floral hair clips

Materials: fabric (satin/silk); buttons, pearls or sequins; scissors; hot glue; alligator clips or bobby pins




1. Start cutting circles out of the fabric. It helps to start with a small circle, then work your way up to bigger circles. You should have about 5-8 circles, and your table will look something like this:


2. Next, burn the edges of the cut circles:


3. Then glue the petals together with a hot glue gun, and place a button, pearl or sequence in the middle like this: 

4. After the petals + center piece are glued together, glue a bobby pin or alligator clip to the back, and voila! You did it yourself! 


Work it, girl.
