  Step 1

  The scraps were taken from one of the legs of this pair of scraggly old jean.

  Step 2

  he principal for making the flowers here is the same as the rolled paper flowers here:
  http://craftsandcreationswithkathy.blogspot.com/2009/12/rolled-flowers.html

  For the two outer flowers, I cut 2 12 inch x 12 inch squares from one of the legs and stacked them on top of each other, right sides up, flipped them over and on the wrong side of the fabric drew a spiral like the one below on where the spirals were about an inch wide. For the center flower, I only used one layer of fabric.

  Step 3

  I then cut out the spirals and rolled them starting with the inner spiral outward and would stitch the layers loosely with a needle and thread. Here is the bottom view of the rolled flowers.

  Step 4

  I put the barrette blank on a piece of cardboard and drew around it with a pen, making it slightly larger than the barrette and then cut it out.

• 

  Step 5

  I put the flowers with the 2 layers on each end and the one with 1 layer in the center, scrunched them together then glued the bottom of the flowers to the cardboard.

  Step 6

  I then glued the cardboard to the barrette blank.

I love how it looks, but maybe you could cover the cardboard with some denim too, so it looks reeeeeaaally neat.
but that's just an idea. it looks awesome.
