Felt Covered Barrette

  • Completed Project:Felt Covered Barrette Picture #1

"Blossom" - Spring has sprung barrette

Hi all!

This is my first, ever, tut and I'm a newbie to stitching.

This is a simple, doodle embroidered, felt covered hair barrette. It costs almost nothing to make & in a snap!

Enjoy!
