Crafts by March 8. Hairpins-flowers

Most children's crafts have one drawback - they are useless. Of course, no one claims that any thing must necessarily be useful. Also, It is not the benefit of a gift that is important, but the love and endeavor of a child, who made a gift for Mom on March 8 with his own hands. But, alas, after a while such gifts are put in a box, so that they do not collect dust.

The country of the Soviets proposes to make useful crafts by March 8. Imagine how proud a child will be when he sees that his mother is using his gift! Today we will tell you how to make hairpins in the form of flowers. Such original hairpins can be used for their intended purpose, decorating their hair, or they can be pinned to a bag or clothes as a brooch.

To make hairpins-flowers by March 8, we will need:

• lush artificial flowers from cloth
• 
  simple metal hairpins
• 
  decorations (rhinestones, beads, buttons, etc.)
• 
  adhesive gun (children should use it only under the supervision of adults) or any universal adhesive

The easiest way to make a hair clip is to remove the middle of the flower, glue a bead or other decoration to the center, attach a hairpin to the back of the flower - and the flower is ready. But we are not looking for easy ways, after all, crafts on March 8 should be more original.

So we will have to make out all the flowers. To do this, remove from all colorsPlastic parts (pistil, stamens, sepals). They can be thrown out - they are no longer useful to us. Now we disassemble our flowers into separate petals. For a hair clip it is best to use flowers that do not consist of separate petals, but from groups of petals (as shown in the picture).

Now we begin to collect a flower for a hair clip from elements of different flowers. To the flower turned out to be original, do not be afraid to use the petals of different shapes and colors. The main thing is to observe one rule: larger petals should be at the bottom, and smaller ones at the top, then the flower will look natural.

Collecting a flower, you need to glue it together. To do this, turn it with the lower lobeDown and detach the lower petal. The center of the petal is slightly spread with glue and we press to it the next petal. So we glue one petal on another, until the flower is glued completely. If the lower petals hang ugly, carefully glue them to the middle ones.

Gluing a flower, you can start making it in the middle. In the center you can paste a rhinestone, sew a beador a button. The sewn middle will hold firmer, but it will be more difficult to attach it: it is quite inconvenient to sew a button to several layers of glued cloth. It is very beautiful to look at the center of the flower button, covered with a cloth.

Now it remains to be small: attach our flower to the barrette. To do this, we take a small petal in the color of the lower petal, sew or glue a hairpin to it, and then glue the petal with a hair clip to our flower. A gift to my mother on March 8 is ready!

As you can see, Such hairpins in the form of flowers on March 8 are quite simple to make, but they look pretty impressive.
