 You will need:
- Silk flowers
- Hair clip or pin backing
- Hot glue
- Acrylic gold metallic paint (if desired)
 Pull flowers and leaves off the stalks. You may need to snip off some of the plastic from the bottom of each f with scissors or wire cutters to get the fs
to lay flat.
For the hair clips, first hot glue the leaves to the clip base, allowing them to hang over the edges. Attach as many leaves as you need to lay down a nice full base. Then attach the fs one at a time. Roses make a nice full arrangement, but I have also used other types of fs and bunched them
closely together. Try to arrange the fs so that they are fuller in the center, and tapering toward the edges.
For an interesting metallic look, paint the fs and leaves before attaching with watered down metallic acrylic paint. Allow them to dry fully before gluing on. |
