Flower Clip Tutorial

Step 1:  collect flowers (I found all of mine at the Dollar Store)

Step 2:  pull the petals apart from the stems.

Step 3:  put them together and fasten them with a brad.  You can buy cute brads at any craft store - I personally think they are too pricey and just use good ol' school brads found at school supply stores.

Step 4: fasten brad

Step 5:  hot glue a felt circle onto the back for reinforcement

Step 6:  open the clip and hot glue the inside of the top part onto another felt circle  (I bought a box of 100 clips at a Sally Beauty Supply store).

Step 7:  glue clip circle onto the other felt circle - I like to use two circles for more support.

Step 8:  pick a rhinestone or button to glue into the middle - I bought a pack of plastic rhinestones at Wal-mart.

Step 9:  Tah Dah!  You're done!

Here are some cute flowers with buttons in the middle.
