a flower in my hair

i wore this flower in my hair today...

i originally made it to go on a pillow...but it looked too cute in my hair!

it felt almost like i was wearing  a vintage hat.

i loved it.

i have never gotten so many compliments in one day...

then my mind started racing with all the colors i needed to have these in...all the places i could wear them...

i went to target and bought these two hats...and yes i did...

i sewed one of these flowers onto each of them...

i was happy about it :o)

yes i know, you need these in your life!

here's how:

after the first part of the flower is finished...put some pins in the back to hold it together.

then start with the second wider strip you have leftover and repeat the steps above.

then hand sew it together. 

i started in the middle.

hide your stitches.

when i hand sew i work mostly from the back...this helps hide those stitches.

 

then your done!

i am obsessed with making these right now!

wait till your husbands are nice and asleep...then sneak down and start crafting.

my husband has no idea what goes on in my nightlife.

i need a name for these flowers!

any ideas???
