Want to make your own flower hair accessory? This quick and easy tutorial will have you looking cute in no time!
Supplies

• Artificial flowers in varying sizes, color & shape. (I just purchased a bouquet that was on sale for around $3 at Michaels Arts & Crafts)
• Glue Gun
• Glue Sticks
• Small rhinestone or pearl to add to the center of your layered flowers
• Ribbon
• Hair Clips (also purchased at Michaels Arts & Crafts. A pack of 8 clips is $2.99 but using a 40% off coupon made them $1.79)
• Scissors

  1. First I lined one of the metal hair clips with ribbon that coordinates with the colors in the flowers I selected. A good width for the ribbon is 3/8" but it will vary depending on the size clip you decide to use. 2. Take apart your flower bouquet. Typically the piece in the center of the flower will pop off, making it easy to disassemble. Lay the flowers out to see what combination you like best. Below is a picture of mine.  3. The next step is easy! Have your flower pieces ready in order. Put hot glue on the top piece and then add the next layer until all the layers are glued together. Gluing each individual layer not only keeps the flower pieces intact but also adds some stiffness to avoid the flowers appearing "floppy".  Make sure to also glue your bead or pearl in the center.  4. The final step, glue your flower petals to the ribbon lined hair clip! Easy enough, right?  Some other ideas you can use this flower clip for:

• Attach it to a headband ( I love baby girls with big flowers on their little heads!)
• Attach it to a cardigan to be worn like a brooch.
• Use it as a shoe clip to dress up a pair of plain pumps...there are so many different ways you can show off your newly handcrafted flower clip!
