  Step 1

  For this project you are going to need synthetic fabric. This is absolutely necessary. We're going to burn the edges of it, SO COTTON OR NATURAL FIBRES WON'T WORK!!! I don't want you burning down the house, so please be extremely careful about it. If you want you can have a bowl with water near you, just in case.

  Children should not do this by themselves.

• 

  Step 2

  Start by cutting the fabric in this sort of "pointy ovals". I recommend cutting different sizes of them. Mine were from 4 to 8cm long.
  They don't need to be perfect.
  Cut plenty of them :)

• 

  Step 3

  Carefully, burn the edges of the gauze, one at a time. You can use pliers to help you hold them. It's not difficult at all, you just have to be careful. As I said before, you can have a bowl of water next to you just in case.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut the fake leather in a teardrop shape. The size of it will depend on how big or small you want your accessory to be. Mine is about 8x7cm.

• 

  Step 5

  Now, put some glue on the wrong side of the fake leather. And start putting in place the gauze shapes. I put the longer ones first, and continued with the shorter ones. But don't glue the whole petal. Just a bit!
  Go from the rounded side of the teardrop shape to the pointy side.

• 

  Step 6

  Once you've finished, you'll get something like this. We'll start putting the plastic gems. I bought lilac and black ones, but I decided to go with black.

• 

  Step 7

  Glue them wherever you want them. Or sew them.
  I like them on the pointy side.

• 

  Step 8

  Now, for the trick of this project.
  Cut a circle in fake leather.

• 

  Step 9

  And then, cut two parallel lines. Just as shown in the picture.
  (well, those lines are not reaaaally parallels, but you get the idea ;) )

• 

  Step 10

  Put glue near the edge ONLY. This is really important.

• 

  Step 11

  Put the circle in place. The lines should be put horizontally!!
  The picture shows it.

• 

  Step 12

  Now put it on a headband...

• 

  Step 13

  ...or on a hair clip.

  Always going through the little cuts you made.

• 

  Step 14

  And now just wear it!!!

  -If you have any questions, please, just ask! I'd be glad to help!-
