Hairpin with flowers
Felt decorations in the shape of flowers look very beautiful. You can make such an accessory using the proposed step-by-step guide.
Materials
For making an elegant accessory with flowers you need to prepare:
- pieces of thin felt in white, light green and dark green;
- light pink art marker;
- beads of different diameters;
- silk floss threads in a moss green shade;
- scissors;
- hairpin base;
- glue gun capable of operating at a minimum heating temperature.
Stages of work
- On paper you should draw templates for the leaves and petals of the flower (you can use a ready-made version downloaded from the Internet).
- To make one flower, cut out from felt 4 large petals with wavy edges, 8 small teardrop-shaped petals, 2 small light green and 2 large dark green leaves.
- Along the edges of the white petals, you need to go a little with a marker to get a beautiful pink border.
- You need to cut off a long part from a skein of thread and then fold it so that the length of each thread is no more than 5 cm. Tie a strong knot on one side of the thread, and carefully cut all the resulting loops on the other. This will be the preparation for the stamens.
- 4 large petals need to be glued to the base of the stamens (directly to the node), evenly placing them around the circumference.
- Four white petals should be glued over a wooden bead so that an unopened bud is formed. In the same way it is necessary to form a second bud.
- Each green leaf must be glued at the base so that the opposite tips touch each other. Thanks to this, the leaves will acquire additional volume and a more natural appearance.
- Now you can assemble the flower arrangement in the desired order and glue it to the base of the hairpin.
Hairpins with animals made of felt for children

Stages of work
- You need to print the proposed template. Where the number 2 is indicated on the template, you need to make 2 parts. All paper elements should be cut out, placed on felt and secured with pins.
- Now you need to design the muzzle. To do this, you can glue or sew on beaded ears, nose, cheeks and eyes. Then embroider the mouth and sew on flowers.
- A second piece of felt must be placed on the muzzle designed in this way. Using small overlock stitches, you need to sew 2 parts of the product, leaving only a small hole. The felt must be sewn or glued to the hairpin. The cute accessory is ready.
