Flower Hairpin Tutorial

Flower Hairpin Tutorial

I use a spool as my guide. I trace on the wrong side of the fabric.


Follow the line as a guide.


cut the circles out leaving about 1/8" - 1/4" allowance.


Cut a slit on the back so you can turn the fabric. If I were making a big flower, like as a pincushion, I would have left an opening when sewing. This will give you a consistant edge.


Stuff tight.


Sew shut. You might want to use matching thread.


Use 2 strands of embroidery thread, double over and knot. Push through so needle comes out the front side. Loop around to front again. Pull tight. This will make a line.


Continue and space equally. I usually make 5 to look like a star.


Add beads to the middle.


Push bobby pin through thread loops on back.


You're done!
