Wasn't really sure what I wanted to do at first.  But then I remember that I had received a new order from CTMH and it had the New Base and Bling Hair Clips(Z1875).

So that is what I'm going to show you.  I did a little photo tutorial to show you how to make the flowers. This first photo will show you the finished product sitting next to the base.

So, what I did was I chose my fabric, I used the blue panel from the Sarita textile package(Z1885).  I made a 2" circle template, which I then traced onto the back of the fabric with a black ink pen.  I cut out 9 fabric circles.

I used the largest circle adhesive dot  from the sheet, there are 4 coordinating sizes to match all the jewellery(Z1903).

Once all my fabric circles were cut out I took the top piece off the adhesive which is adhered to the hair clip, and I started by folding 1 of the 9 circles and placing it on the base. You fold the circle in half, and then half again, and then I folded each piece back onto itself.  I did this 8 times, as it will hold 8 folded pieces around the circle, and then put the last one in the centre to give it a fuller flower.

I put each piece on as I finished folding it.  You should have a great flower hair clip, I wanted mine fuller, so for this I needed a glue gun, and I popped a small glob of hot glue in the centre, and placed my ninth piece in place.  I then gently separated the folds just a little to fill in the empty spaces.

Finally, it is ready to be modelled.  So I grabbed my littlest model and tada, we have a Sarita Hair Clip.

Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!
