  Step 1

  Cut a piece of fabric in a long rectangular shape.

  The example here is about 5cm wide x 60cm long. Fold in half and iron out any creases.

• 

  Step 2

  Stitch along the open edge with a running stitch.

  Pull the thread and the fabric should start to gather and you should end up with nice ruffles. Leave the needle and thread on the flower.

• 

  Step 3

  Use a bobby pin to create the flower.

  I like to use a bobby pin to make the flower. Place the fabric in between the pin on the side where you started stitching ie needle should be dangling from opposite end to the bobby pin.

• 

  Step 4

  Start turning the bobby pin to create the flower. Adjust the gather of the ruffles as you go to get the look you are after.

• 

  Step 5

  Stitch the flower into place from the back.

  Secure a button or a bead into the centre.

i like these, they're really pretty! but i have a bit of a question (it's probably gonna sound stupid!), but is the bobby pin to make it in to a hair clip, or is it just for constructing the flower and you take it out after? Sorry! Lol!
