Then flatten the petals, and using a hot glue gun, attach the flower to a hair clip.

Beaded flowers are made with wire and any style, color, or shape bead that is desired.
The beads are strung on wire and the wire is bent to create whatever shape petal is wanted.

The petals can be cut to any shape desired, and are then layered and sewn together, with the centerpiece made from the contrasting fabric on the top.
The finished flower can either be glued or sewn to a clip or hairpin.
There are a multitude of different ways to make flowers for hair clips out of fabric and ribbon.
Long strips can be gathered and rolled to create the look of a rose, or they can be looped to make more of a daisy-like flower.
Individual flower shapes can be cut and layered together with a button sewn in the middle to secure the separate pieces.
The edges can be finished or left raw so that they fray, creating a more fun and funky look.
Again, the flower is attached to any kind of hair clip desired.
The different style of flowers mentioned above can also be made into other kinds of cute accessories.
The flowers could be attached to a pin to make a pretty corsage.
They can also be glued or sewn to a comb.
They look cute when added to a purse or handbag.
