I found these cute flowers at the thrift store. I knew they would make cute hair pieces, so I just had to have them. They came out so cute.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Fine Tip Sharpies
  • Hot Glue Gun And Glue Sticks
  • Acrylic Paint Yellow, orange, red, black, white
  • 1 Hair Comb
  • 3 Skull Bead /Charm
  • 1 Hair Clip(s)
  • 3 Fake Flowers

Steps (4 steps, 100 minutes)

  1. 1

    First the sunflower. It was a little big to be a clip. So I thought it should be a comb instead. First I snipped out the thick chunky things in the middle. I glued down the petals so they lay flat. Then I glued a few leaves and the comb on the back.

  2. 2

    Then I used yellow, orange and a tiny smidgen of red paint to add some highlights to the middle of the flower. I used the black fine tip sharpie to add lines to the flower petals. Then I glued the skull in the center. I did a white wash of paint on the skull with highlights of black.

  3. 3

    I didn't do too much to these two flowers. I glued the petals down, then I glued the leaves to the back.

  4. 4

    Then I glued the skull bead in the center. And then I glued the clip onto the back. I gave one of these to my BFF. She loved it. ^_^
