DIY Felt Poinsettia Hair Clip

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Christmas time! Alright...it's not the same in Australia. It's Spring/Summer time here and that is just wrong. It's supposed to be cold and snowy during Christmas and no one can convince me otherwise. In an effort to feel the spirit of the holiday season here's a tutorial to make your own felt poinsettia hair clip. Here's the pattern.


Here's what you'll need:
• felt
• yarn
• scissors
• hot glue gun
• glue sticks for said gun
• hair clip (optional)


Follow the picture tutorial and pattern. The larger circle in the pattern is used to glue all the petals to. Start with the biggest petals around the outside, then medium sized, then smallest in the middle. The smaller circle is for after you glue the top of your clip to the flower. Open the clip, glue it to the back of the flower, then glue the small circle over the top of the open clip to clean up the look. Tah dah!

  5. Thanks for posting this! I'm making one for me, but more importantly, i'm going to make one for my husband's grandmother, only as a brooch. She's 86 and battling colon cancer so she has no hair, but she's cuter than a button and would love this!

  7. I made some of these for me and my niece for Christmas. I used beads for the center (fake pearls) instead of yarn and they turned out very beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this project :O)

  10. Such a great idea! They could round off the petals as well to make them look less xmas-ie. :)
