Cute flowers to jazz up your spring wardrobe!
I found several cheap flower leis around my house, and I've been wanting some cute hairclips for summer, so I decided to rip them apart and make these fluffy flower clips! This project would also work for embellishing a tank top, fashion rings, and many other things!

I hope you enjoy my tutorial! It is the first one I've ever written, so feel free to ask if my directions aren't clear. :)

    A lei

    Step 3

    Fold your Felt in half and draw a small circle (About 1 inch, depending on the size of your flowers) slightly hanging off of the fold and cut it out, so that you have an 8-shaped piece of felt.

    Gather your flowers. I was making my sister a pink one, but you're welcome to mix or match the colors. Get crazy!

    Step 5

    Keep on adding flowers! Add some hot glue each time you add a flower, and be careful not to burn yourself! Build up your flowers to your desired thickness. I like mine fluffy and thick.

    Tip: if your lei had two different sizes of flowers, add the smallest flowers last to give it more dimension!
