Oh, I have always wanted one of these, but being the crafty one, I refused to pay so much for something I could easily make cheaply. I think it turned out quite well...

You Will Need (5 things)
- Jewel
- Felt
- Hot Glue Gun
- Invisible Thread
- Needle
Steps (18 steps, 30 minutes)
-
1
First, get your piece of felt that you wish to use. You won't need much! Also, grab a piece of paper and cut out a small triangle.
-
2
Get a piece of chalk and draw around your triangle as many times as you like, each triangle is a petal. I did 6 triangles. I prefer to use chalk as it rubs out easily whereas pen smudges and often doesn't wash away.
-
3
Cut out your triangles!
-
4
Take one triangle and fold it in half. I put a pin through it to keep it in place.
-
5
This picture might be little difficult to see. But along the bottom of your triangle sew with your needle and thread.
-
6
Here is where you should have sewn.
-
7
Open up the folded triangle to get a petal that looks like this.
-
8
Do this to all of your triangles so you end up with petals.
-
9
Take two petals and place them together to they're pointing in the same direction. Sew along the edge(not your finger!)
-
10
It should look like this.
-
11
Take the two that you've sewn together and sew on another petal to the egde like you did before.
-
12
Continue to sew on petals until you have run out. Next is the tricky bit...
-
13
You now have to sew the last petal and the first petal together. (It doesn't matter if it's untidy as you won't see it)
-
14
Begin to warm up your glue gun and choose your gem!
-
15
Glue your gem to the centre of your flower using the glue gun.
-
16
Flip it over and carefully use the glue gun to put some glue on the back.
-
17
While the glue is wet, take your hair grip/slide (whatever you wish to call it) and gently pull it so it makes a 'V' shape and only one part of the grip will be stuck. Stick the bumpy or zig-zag side so you are able to put it in your hair.

Your flower should now be complete and look like this. Enjoy!
