Hydrangea Hair Bow

Now that we're well into spring, its warm enough for baby bear to wear her colorful spring and summer clothes. A new wardrobe calls for new hair bows!! I still have a TON of left over felt from the quiet book project so I decided that the new accessories would be felt flowers. I'll post another type of felt flower that I made later when I have an extra few minutes!

Felt Hydrangea Hair Clip

Materials:

- Felt, green and another color (one or more colors, depending on what color combination you want)

- Alligator clip

- needle and thread

- scissors

- flower stencil or artistic skill

- hot glue

1. Trace or freehand a four petal flower onto the felt. You will want about 12-14 individual flowers total. Cut the flowers out. 

2. Cut a circle out of the felt, about 3" in diameter. Also cut 2-3 one inch long leaves out of some green felt.

3. Sew each flower onto the circle by sewing a small x in the center of the flower. Some flowers will have to be squished and overlap a little bit, but that's ok. It will give the whole flower a final look. 

4. Sew the leaves onto the back of the flower, letting them peek out from behind the flowers as much or little as you like. 

5. Using hot glue, attach the alligator clip. Or, to make this a head band, sew the flower onto a stretchy head band, then glue a piece of felt onto the back to secure the flower to the head band.
