My local fabric shop is closing, and lace is 25 cents a meter. So why not stock up?

Cut a lenght of lace about 30 cm (12 in) long. You will need the piece to be a bit longer if you lace is a bit thicker. (Like the pink flower above)
Using a loose running stitch, go along the top of the entire length of lace. Once you reach the end, loop hte needle back through the first stitch you made, to make a circle.
Gather the flower together, and once it it gathered as tight as you want it, tie it off.
Decide which side of the flower you want to be the top, flip it over TOP SIDE DOWN and sew up the two ends of the lace nice and tight.
Take the craft glue, and apply a very thin layer anywhere you want glitter, and sprinkle on your glitter. With the hot glue, put your decoration of choice in the middle of the flower.
Once everything is dry, hot glue your hair clip or pin onto the back of the flower. They make REALLY nice facinators!
Have fun wearing it!
