Prickly Posey Hair Clip

Pin It Now!
When you have a blog you very often link up to "Linky Parties" for those of you who don't speak blogger-ese these are parties where all of us in blog land have a party and share with each other on one blog all of our recent bright ideas, crafts, or recipes. Well thanks to linkies and Pinterest I made this!



And I owe it all to Sister See Sister Do, this is the great tutorial they shared!


It was great and if you saw the fabric they used you would not believe it! So I decided to give it a try with the intention of making it out of our school plaid for a friends daughter. I went and bought this fabric to practice on.


I am not here to re-invent the wheel so you can go to Sister See Sister Do to see the tutorial, however I will share with you some things that helped me that are not on the tutorial.

First the thought of cutting out circle by circle one at a time was mind numbing and I have no patience so a folded up the fabric so that it was 6 layers thick and clipped it with a paper clip to hold it. This made it go super quick.


When I was ready to glue the pieces into wads I found it did better for me to do a circle so that it would wad up tight.



Hazzard of the job!


On the back of mine I used a hair clip and make sure you put your finger in between  the clip while it dries so you don't glue the clip together!



Now how cute is this?


So I was so excited I decided to make another but I forgot to clip the ends into a triangle. I decided to just go with it and see what happened and here it is, 
they both look great I think, which one do you like the best?



Thanks Michelle and Julie for a such great Pin-spiration!

  19. This is so cute and great choice of fabric. I agree with the circles and stack them too! I'm just not patient enough to cut them out individually. I'm now a follower and I found your post from the Trendy Treehouse Linky Party. Thanks for sharing!
