  Step 1

  First, get your piece of felt that you wish to use. You won't need much! Also, grab a piece of paper and cut out a small triangle.

• 

  Step 2

  Get a piece of chalk and draw around your triangle as many times as you like, each triangle is a petal. I did 6 triangles. I prefer to use chalk as it rubs out easily whereas pen smudges and often doesn't wash away.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out your triangles!

• 

  Step 4

  Take one triangle and fold it in half. I put a pin through it to keep it in place.

• 

  Step 5

  This picture might be little difficult to see. But along the bottom of your triangle sew with your needle and thread.

• 

  Step 6

  Here is where you should have sewn.

• 

  Step 7

  Open up the folded triangle to get a petal that looks like this.

• 

  Step 8

  Do this to all of your triangles so you end up with petals.

• 

  Step 9

  Take two petals and place them together to they're pointing in the same direction. Sew along the edge(not your finger!)

• 

  Step 10

  It should look like this.

• 

  Step 11

  Take the two that you've sewn together and sew on another petal to the egde like you did before.

• 

  Step 12

  Continue to sew on petals until you have run out. Next is the tricky bit...

• 

  Step 13

  You now have to sew the last petal and the first petal together. (It doesn't matter if it's untidy as you won't see it)

• 

  Step 14

  Begin to warm up your glue gun and choose your gem!

• 

  Step 15

  Glue your gem to the centre of your flower using the glue gun.

• 

  Step 16

  Flip it over and carefully use the glue gun to put some glue on the back.

• 

  Step 17

  While the glue is wet, take your hair grip/slide (whatever you wish to call it) and gently pull it so it makes a 'V' shape and only one part of the grip will be stuck. Stick the bumpy or zig-zag side so you are able to put it in your hair.

• 

  Step 18

  Your flower should now be complete and look like this. Enjoy!
