Rosette Hair Pin


These little rosettes are so cute, and they don't even require a needle and thread. All you need is a hot glue gun, and you're set. There are several you-tube videos that show great tutorials on how to make these. I used THIS one. The lady in the video is correct when she says you'll get glue on your hands and you may get burned.

I used gray dupioni silk for this flower. I also sandwiched some feathers between a piece of gray felt and the rosette. I'm really into feathers these days. I'm already looking forward to making many more of these with different types of fabrics. I've seen several necklaces decorated with these little rosettes, so that may be a fun project. These will also be great embellishments on purses, clothing, shoes, purses, and headbands. The possibilities are endless.
