You can increase the size of the roses by using bigger circles. The roses can be used as a brooch for a sweater or glued onto a headband. :-)

Use a cup as a guide and trace a circle on your first sheet of felt. Then flip over your cup and trace a smaller circle on your second sheet of felt.
Now cut out those two circles.
Starting from the outside, cut in a spiral motion towards the middle of the circle.
Repeat with your second circle and you should have something that looks like this.
Again, working from the outside in...twist and twirl your felt into a rose shape. (see picture as guide if needed)
Add glue to the last few twirls of your rose, and seal with extra felt from the "tail". (see image as guide)
Repeat twirling with the second rose...
and glue only for the last few twirls...
Now cut out a small rectangle of felt to cover your hair-clip with.
Glue the rectangle onto the hair-clip, then apply more glue to stick on the roses.
Stick on your roses as desired and let dry. *Hint-let your hair-clip dry while snapped shut or else there will be a gap between your roses.
Clip in your hair! You can add more roses, or use bigger roses to make a bolder statement. Felt leaves may also be used as added decoration. :-) If you enjoyed this tutorial, check out my blog at... missyellowshoes.blogspot.com
