Moreover, they will be quite voluminous and large. Like the one in the picture above. These, by the way, are the very hairpins that adorned the cover of the Masterclass girl needlework magazine (my pride is).

As usual, with the advent of warmth and sunshine, I want something beautiful and elegant. So it's time to talk about hairstyles. Or rather, about what these hairstyles are based on. Not even with us, but with our children.

We are, of course, talking about girls - our little fashionistas and parachutes. It is not very convenient for me to bypass our boys, but on this moment I can’t even imagine what kind of jewelry they can wear and what is so unusual and beautiful that they might like. That's why…

If you have any thoughts on this, then I kindly ask you to unsubscribe in the comments to the article - what, with what and how our boys wear jewelry, accessories. And most importantly - what kind of jewelry and accessories. Because everything is clear with girls - bows (), hairpins (for example,), headbands, elastic bands and other beauty for hair. And here are the boys...

Looking ahead a little, I also want to advise you to read a few more curious and fragrant master classes. In my collection of felt flowers, the brightest specimens can be safely considered (as many as 7 various options), a touching charmer, also made of felt with her own handles and, of course, my favorite and so different in character prickly baby brooches in the form of.

Anyway. Let's not be distracted anymore. Let's better quickly try to make a small felt flower that looks so much like a real sun!

Felt hairpins - do-it-yourself in one evening

It is not at all difficult to make such hairpins. But still it will require from you a sufficient amount of time, effort and accuracy. However, all these investments will more than pay off when the hairpins take their place. Therefore, if today you had an evening free from household chores and worries, then why not devote it to needlework? I think your daughter will appreciate your work.

In fact, I am very glad that I finally have the opportunity to write about these unusual dandelions, since I have been in love with them for a long time, but buying ready-made ones is just a problem. Either the color is not the same, then the size is not ours. And in general! What am I - not a craftswoman or something ?! And then - with your own hands, it always turns out better and more elegant! Is it true?

In general, I decided to put aside all my business and distractions for a while and began to create a new decoration for my beauty - fluffy hairpins made of felt with my own hands. Yellow suns.

Here's how these unusual hairpins in the form of a yellow dandelion felt flower look in a hairstyle.

Here, in the photo, the hairpins are attached to green rubber bands, tied in advance on the ponytails. It all looks very organic and neat together. You like? Then get to work! We prepare materials, read a master class and create our own sunny meadow of dandelions.

List of materials or what we need

To make these truly summer, joyful and radiant flowers from felt, you will need a standard set of materials, which you have probably already gotten used to for all the time that we have been sewing together. Nevertheless, I will again consider individual items from this list in a little more detail.

1. felt 1 mm thick
2. metal hair clips
3. needle and thread or sewing typewriter
4. carpet cutter or roller blade
5. scissors and glue gun

Basic material, which interests us today, has primarily yellow and green color. Green can be taken even in two different shades. We will need it when we make felt leaves.

Before the purchase clamps please be very careful. Check them for performance and do not take the cheapest ones. I've come across a couple of times with terrible quality clamps. It's a shame, but the money was wasted.

Roller knife if you still don’t have it, it’s not necessary to buy specifically in order to complete this master class. Dandelion will work without it. But you must have a cutter. Make sure the blade is sharp before starting work and replace it with a new one if necessary.

Felt dandelion. We smile and plow

In fact, this is, of course, a joke. We don't have to plow. I already said that the work here for half the evening. Well, a maximum for the evening, no more. And this is provided that you do not have a sewing machine and you will do all the seams manually.

So, the first thing we will do is cut out of felt yellow color a strip 8 cm wide and 30.5 cm long. We bend this strip along in half and with a simple pencil (or chalk) we outline the future line of the line.

On sewing machine or manually sew the line exactly along this intended line. Then we cut the thread.

We take scissors in our hands and make cuts along the entire length of our workpiece to a width of about 0.3 cm. We make cuts from the edge of the fold and not reaching 1 cm to the edge of the strip. That is why we performed a line a little earlier. So we marked the boundary beyond which it is impossible to cross.

We cut our strip slowly, slowly, so that everything is smooth, neat and beautiful.

After everything is cut, we gradually apply hot glue and begin to twist our strip as tightly as possible at the base (where the line is).

We glue the very beginning of the strip well, and then, step by step, we twist it, applying glue along the entire length of the edge.

Make sure the base is level. Those. the lower edge of the strip along its entire length should be at the same level and not move a millimeter from turn to turn.

A small caveat

Glue is applied exactly near the line that we drew with a pencil for ease of cutting. As you work further, you will understand why this is important.

The strip is twisted and well fixed. Now we cut every one of the resulting loops at their upper base. A job that requires attention and meticulousness, but not at all difficult and not time-consuming.

Just try to cut so that both halves are the same length. It will not be difficult to do this if, at the time of cutting, pull each of the loops up a little. Cut? Great!

We remember the lesson of biology and make leaves

Despite the fact that the dandelion already looks like a living thing, but something is clearly missing from it, you must agree. Who will be the first to say what exactly? Of course it's leaves.

So it's time to remember school years and biology lessons for grade 6. What did the leaves of these flowers look like when you were a child? Actually nothing has changed since then. Therefore, on a free piece of paper, we draw by hand the intended outline of the sheet.

If you, like me, graduated from school a very, very long time ago, then we do a little easier - open the search and drive in the "dandelion leaf template" there. Then we print the option we like, transfer the contours to a sheet of green felt and cut it out.

After the leaves are cut out, we put them on a sheet of felt of a slightly lighter green color and adjust in the middle. If you do not have a machine, then we sew it manually.

For greater naturalness, you can also stitch veins.

We remove the extra threads and cut off the lower light green layer of the leaf at a distance of 1 mm from the top layer.

These are the leaves I got. Do you have the same? Already like a real dandelion, right? Beautiful!

The leaf turned out just right! Very similar to a real dandelion leaf.

Step back and final assembly

The leaves are ready, the flower, in fact, too. But we need to go back a little and do one more thing. And this will be the most responsible moment for you today.

We need to cut off part of the stem of the flower. The part that we smeared with glue and twisted into a tight roll.

We will cut right below the line. And it is best to do this with a sharp blade of a retractable carpet knife. An ordinary clerical knife may not be able to cope with such a thickness. And we need the cut to be perfectly even and smooth.

We need to remove all unnecessary so that no more than 0.3-0.5 cm remains from the incised petals.

Nothing came loose? If glued at the stage of twisting as I said ( and I have shown exactly how to do it.), then everything should turn out fine.

Now it remains for us to attach the leaves and our most charming fluffy yellow dandelions are ready. But then again - since our task, in addition to the flowers themselves, is also to make hair clips, it’s too early for us to stop again.

Glue leaves to the base of the flower. Two leaves per flower. One is large, the other is smaller.

Now let's measure the diameter of the dandelion stem. It turned out to be 2.2 cm for me.

This means that we need to cut out a circle of yellow felt of exactly the same diameter. We use this circle as a cap to hide all the rough work.

Apply glue to the circle detail and glue.

The final stage of our work will be gluing metal hair clips. And here, too, there are some small features.

Since the base of our felt flower is quite small, we will glue the clip on one of the leaves too. Just move the clip so that it is not visible from the top (front) side of the hairpin and glue it.

This time we use a hot gun with silicone rods as glue.

That's it. Do you like the result? I personally really like it! But even more I love how playful and unusual these hair clips look in hairstyles for little girls. Very cute and absolutely adorable!

I’m willing to bet that if, having reached these lines, you hold exactly the same felt dandelions in your palms, and somewhere near you, not far away, there is a small laughing person with plump cheeks and sparkling eyes, then this very person is already waiting can't wait until you finally put these beautiful pins, reminiscent of the sun in miniature, in their warm, soft hands.

So let's do it quickly! May today give you one more hug!

How do you like the result? I think it's just adorable!

I am very glad that you have been with me all this time again and I will be happy to hear your opinion about this master class.

Of course, felt flowers are not a new topic. And you, for sure, have already seen a lot of ideas and incarnations in this area of ​​our work. But inspiration does not stand still, right? Who knows, maybe today with my fluffy dandelions I will inspire you to create something new and unusual!

Creative success and good mood!
