hi there! i'm excited to share a cute & simple Do-it-yourself project with you tonight! Here is a set of mod flower patterns that you can print and use as a template... Download Mod Flowers
step 1: print and cut out some cute blooms.
step 2: stitch on a large button using embroidery floss.
step 3: use super glue to adhere a hair clip to the back of your bloom. :)
this project is easy and so cute! here are a few more ideas for spicing up your mod flowers.... layer your blooms with several cut from different fabrics, try making one from plastic or cardboard and add yarn or ribbon to your flowers to create leaves!
i hope your Saturday was wonderful! XOXO. elsie
your hair is so pretty...sigh

this is sooo cute! i'm in the process of making some other felt flowers right now so this is perfect timing! i have felt and hair clips.. all i need is buttons and embroidery thread, i think i'll go pick those up tomorrow! but actually my clips are a lot thicker than yours, where did you get those thin ones you used? these are soo cute for hair and pinned on clothes. thanks for sharing elsie, i really appreciate it! =)

Is that an owl necklace you have on? Is it from Forever 21?? I have one that looks almost just like that one from there that I LOVE :)

I LOOOOVE this idea!!!!! I actully do the same thing, I've been thinking of putting up DIYs, but I do a lot of crafts on my own. I think you answered my question of if i should or shouldn't. thanks so much Els :)
BTW...where do you come up with all you crafts? :P
