I did a TV segment yesterday featuring hair accessories, so I thought I better post them for everyone else to see. 🙂 I love these flowers. They are OH so girly, and so fun to make!

They are so simple to make and look so cute on little girls. I even wear them in my hair too! I wish I had taken a better shot of that beige and turquoise one above… it’s my fave!

Ruffled Lace Flower

Steps:

1. Cut out a 2in felt circle and about 20 inches of lace trim. The lace trim can be found at most fabric stores and comes in many different colors and sizes.

2. Apply glue around one corner. Place the lace trims raw edge directly on the glue. Keep gluing (about an inch at a time) and follow the curve with the lace, pressing it down as you go.

3. Angle the lace down slightly and keep gluing around the circle till you reach the center and have a full flower.

4. I cut my lace here, so I could leave room for a button.

Then I glued the button in the center and applied stretchy elastic to the back. You could also add a clip or pin. There’s so many different things you could do with these flowers. Attach them to a purse, put them on pillows… get creative!

      would these fit if they were made entirely out of strtech lace vs. knits? that’s the style of my current favorite store-bought panties. (Hahahahaha, as if anyone ever thought there’d be a need to identify particular panties as store-bought versus others. hahahahahaha)

    Love the idea of these, but I had some real trouble with it! Maybe it was the type of lace I bought but I could not get it to lay flat for the life of me! Finally I took a thread and needle and hand sewed a loose stitch through it and ruffled it more. Then I was able to get the same look. These were tougher than they look but worth it!

    I do have a question if I may – where did you get your bright pink and turquoise lace from?

    I’m in Australia and it is near on impossible to find anything that isn’t white, red, black, baby blue. baby pink or cream. Boring!

    Ok so I am IN LOVE with these. I don’t have a baby girl yet but I would love to make some for other’s baby girls or some for me when I have a baby girl ONE DAY (fingers crossed!) but I have a problem… I went to JoAnn’s and looked in what seemed like the lace/ruffle section but I didn’t see anything that looked quite like what you used. (also SUPER lacking in cute colors). I’m not sure if I was looking in the wrong place or the wrong store altogether. So my really stupid question is, what exactly is it called that I am looking for, as in the lace to make the flower and the stretchy kind for the headband?

      Hi Lianne! I am not sure how long it should be for a one year old. If my daughter was younger, I would go and measure it around her head, but she is older now so it would be different! I hope you got it figured out!
