Chiffon Flowers

I love the chiffon flowers you see all over the place, on headbands, hair clips, necklaces, and as brooches. I found a couple soft vintage shirts at the goodwill and have enjoyed cutting them apart for these cute flowers.

1. Cut circles out of chiffon or fabric of choice. How many depends on how large you want your flower.

2. Start by pinching the center of the circle so it looks like the above photo. Continue doing that until you have a bunch.

3. Take your needle and thread and sew the pinched circles together.

4. Using your hot glue gun, glue felt circles onto the bottoms of the flowers.

5. You can sew or hot glue on pins for a brooch or a clip for the hair. You can also add these to headbands or shoes.

Make some flowers for yourself and be creative, there are so many ways to use them.

The 5 Minute Flip Flop Flower

Its almost that time, time to get your sun-denied little feet out of their socks and toe-warmin shoes and into those flip flops. Today I went to the shoe store with my daughter and we saw these cute flip flops with ribbon flowers on top of them. I looked at my daughter and said ‘I can do that!’. So I came home and I did just that!

Items Needed: Ribbon, Glue Gun, Sewing Machine, Flip Flops and Felt

1. Take ribbon and sew the basting stitch across the top. Pull the loose string and make the ribbon ruffle.

2. Roll them into a ribbon flower and glue a piece of felt to the bottom of the flower.

3. Do step 1 and 2 to both of your pieces of ribbon.

4. Hot glue your ribbon flower to your flip flop.

5. Get out and enjoy your flip flops!
