So yesterday I was trying to make some decent fabric roses for hair clippies. Didn't go too well. Two fails and one decent flower.
So, this one is some purple jersey. I tried to ruffle it at the bottom, but when I ruffled it only half was ruffled so it looked... wonky. Also, when I rolled it up, it was too long and skinny.
This is some fraying, lining-acetate type fabric. It would look good if the edges were finished, argh! My sister suggested that I burn the edges, but I should've done that before starting. Plus I don't think my mommy trusts me very long with a candle. I wouldn't either.
Success! It turned out nicely in my opinion, using the same jersey as the first one. This one is pretty good, except the middle layers are kind of lopsided. Oh well.
I love fabric flowers, but i never use them! I'd love to wear them in my hair, but I'm the kind of person who cares what people think of me if I have a funny something in my hair, but don't care if I'm wearing a chip bag as a hair tie (another story for another time). o( >__< )o
Would you wear them?
They're cute! What I usually do with mine (I was super obsessed with making these and putting them on headbands) is use a hot glue gun...I twist it how I want it, then glue, and it turns out looking super cute!
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable. I even love version #2 also. But I think I have that thing you have - fancy stuff makes me nervous but I can walk around with pencils and knitting needles sticking out of my hair without a second thought. I would have to wear them on the back of my head.
ReplyDeleteI love the purple one! I have to make one of these for myself!
ReplyDeleteI love them all! The first one is a little wonky though :)
ReplyDeleteI do all of my stuff in Picnik... and I have a few tutorials scheduled for soon on how to make a header etc. If you ever have any questions... just ask me! I mean, I'm no pro or anything, but I can edit a little :P
Oh... guess what?!!? I'm so excited...I opened an Etsy.. AND {no I haven't sold anything} went around and messaged random shops I like if they wanna sponsor my blog... I have at least 3 people interested in paying 5$ a month or their sending me one of their items :D)))) {doublechins} So yeah...
