To celebrate the approaching arrival of spring coach on sale, I wanted to share a simple and versatile accessory DIY that will be perfect as the weather begins to warm up. This DIY flower clip is simple Coach Factory Outlet Online, sweet, and a great way to add some color to your daily look. Style blogger Kendi of Kendi Everyday has rocked this accessory idea more than once, adding a flower clip to a shirt or jacket. Take a look at the easy step-by-step tutorial below:
- Fake flower of your choice – Available at craft stores
- Alligator clip – Again Louis Vuitton Outlet online, a craft store favorite. The size depends on your size of flower.
- Felt -?I recommend a similar color to your floral piece.
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
1. Start by removing the stem, leaves and extra pieces of your flower as needed. I used a purple silk-touch flower that I picked up at a craft store for a few dollars, that already had a stem and leaves attached. I removed these as seen in the photo. Remember, you want the back side of your flower to be as flat and even as possible.
2. Cut a square of felt that is roughly the same size as your flower. Using your hot-glue gun, carefully apply the felt square to the back of your flower. This will create the base for your alligator clip.
3. Cut another piece of felt that is slightly narrower than the first. It should be about the width of your alligator clip. I used the clip to measure out the correct width of my second piece of felt.
4. Clip the alligator clip to the second piece of felt. Carefully apply glue to the underside of the piece and press it to the flower as shown in step four. Let the glue dry and cool for a minute or two and you’re done!
