My poor coffee table has turned orange, gold, and yellow.This past month I've become obsessed with Dollar Tree and the sheer amount of crafts I can create for cheap-cheap-cheap!((As an aside, www.dollarstorecrafts.com is an a-maz-ing source of inspiration!))
I've created flower hair accessories for care packages sent off to Korea and Arizona much like this one I created tonight:
Items Needed:
- Faux Flower ($1 at Dollar Tree!)
- Hot Glue & Hot Glue Gun
- Hair Accessory (headband, hair scrunchy, bobby pin, barrette-- or even a pin, making it a brooch!)
To create:
- Remove a faux flower from its stem; completely take it apart
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the flower petals together in the center
- You have options in the center: glue down the original center of the flower, or a grouping of beads, make a ribbon bow, whatever makes you happy! Pictured is the original flower center.
- Glue (or even sew) your flower to your hair accessory or pin
These flowers are so easy to make, so pretty, and so customizable!
Wear a lot of purple? Make a purple flower!
Want to make a bigger statement? Add in feathers, beads, ribbons as fascinators!
In addition, these flowers can be used to create a lovely Fall wreath with a little creative ribboning.
To create a wreath, such as the one I created tonight pictured above, I found and used a tutorial here. I was able to create this wreath for $6 at Dollar Tree plus the cost of a wreath form ($3 at Michael's)
