I bought three stems of flowers for about $1.25 each with 3-4 flower heads on each one. A set of aligator clips were $1.99 at Michaels. I busted out my wire cutters and cut each head off the steam as close as I could get it to the flower base. Then just hot glued them to the clip. Easy Peasy and super cheap. I couldn't help but sing "If your going to San Francisco be sure to wear flowers in your hair...If you're going to San Francisco, you're gonna meet some gentle people there" Then of course I had to listen to the song... you can too here.
Enjoy the scenery...
To make it even better- while I was crafting my husband was cookin up some suuuper good carne asada tacos. Mmmmm. I'm glad I married a man who likes to cook. Somebody's got to!
show us some pics of them in your hair! did you make sadie any? :)
ReplyDeleteOk I will! Sadie would hate me, I'm so sure. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just got a Michael's gift card too. Those may fit into my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from One Pretty Thing- I laughed when I saw your photos, because I have these same flowers in my stash, and have handed out barrettes to quite a few little girls! Although, I had to take the stamen out and sew a bead in the center before I glue them on- my flowers were falling apart if I didn't? Maybe it's because I used E-6000... I'm still scared of the hot glue gun :) I LOVE how these turned out!
