Anthropology Inspired Poppy Bobby Pins Tutorial


My top 2 places for inspiration:
1. Pottery Barn
2. Anthropology

SO when I stumbled across these ADORABLE bobby pins,
I had to make them!

anthropology

I present to you MY Anthro Inspired,
Poppy Bobby Pin Tutorial:

Materials:
bobby pin
2 pieces of 1.5"x1.5" polyester satin
2 pieces of 1"x1" polyester satin
2 rhinestones for embellishing
glue gun
scissors
matches
6" piece of 3/8" grosgrain ribbon 

1.
cut squares
Two 1.5"x1.5" squares
Two 1"x1" squares
Next, you will round the edges of your 4 silk squares.

so you have circles

2. 
CAREFULLY using matches, burn the edges of each circle until the fabric melts and curls. 

3. 
Next, stack your 1" and 1/2" circles together.
Secure with a dab of hot glue

4.
Now we are going to wrap our bobby pin with ribbon.
I fed 1" of ribbon thru the center of the bobby pin, applied glue, 
 folded the 1" over,
and then began wrapping the ribbon around ONE side of the bobby pin.


5. 
Lastly, you are going to glue your two flowers onto the bobby pin, and embellish with a rhinestone.

Ta Da! A new hair accessory!

Make any color you wish!
The possibilities are endless!

I am linking up to these parties.

    I will have to pass this on to a friend of mine. Her daughter is always looking barrettes. This would be a good way for her to have spares.

    Love making these flowers! Your color choices are gorgeous!

    One way if you are going to make a lot of flowers is to use a tea light candle. You have more control of what you want to burn. Just something I do and have found it to be easier than a match. :)

    Lovely bobbies and they look so easy to make! The "burning" of the edges looks like great fun {I may be part pyro :)}

    These are darling. I guess you could also light a candle and melt the edges, too. Thanks for the how-to!

    How pretty! I just started making these flowers myself. Only I have been using them in my scrapbooking and card making. I just ordered some hairclips to glue the flowers too for my daughter! Love the bobby pin idea!

    I found you via a linky party. I love the bobby pins and might have to make a few to accessorize for the summer wedding season. I am a new follower, too.
