A Hit and 2 Misses

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?

  1. 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!

  2. I 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.
