Crochet, Ribbon and Button Hair Accessories - DIY Tutorial #3

These weekend was DIY central yet again. Here are the supplies for the little girls' hair accessories strewn out for visual purposes! Yarn, hot glue (soon-to-be-evil) and a multitude of my buttons, among other things.

I  made a headband, a bobby pin and a french barrette. Each little accessory has a piece of the greenery on my headpiece to match . I currently have some tiny lady bugs on order to add to these guys and the pieces to be made later this week/weekends to come.

 

This time, a page break will be necessary! If you'd like to read more, click on!

Flower Girl Crochet Daisy Bobby Pin with button and leaf details

I crocheted a little white daisy shape applique and picked out a yellow button to glue on the center. I also grabbed some velvet leaves on wire and some of my greenery from my headpiece.

 I popped the bobby pin head through the back of the flower to the front and hot glued a yellow button to the metal to secure the crochet to the metal piece.

Turn around the pin after the glue has cooled and stick the wire under the crochet stitches to hide it. Bend it up in a hook shape and slide it under more stitches to secure. Stick the greenery under the leaf and hot glue the flower and all the leafy-ness with a tiny dot of hot glue to secure.

 Bada bing! Cutes.

Ribbon Covered Flower Girl Barrette with crochet daisy accents

Glue the right side of the ribbon to the end of the metal clip.

Fold up corners to center of ribbon and glue with tiny dot of hot glue. Repeat on opposite end, then glue that end to metal on right side by folding under as well.

Add crochet flower shape and secure to barrette by hot gluing a button in the center so that the glue is on the ribbon and the crochet.

Secure the flower to the barrette with additional stitching.

Ribbon Wrapped Flower Girl Headband with crochet flowers and buttons

Cut a hole in the end of the ribbon to slip the headband end through. Glue pointed end onto inside of headband on end and begin to wrap ribbon around plastic. Overlap by about 1/3 to 1/2 of the previously wrapped ribbon.

Cut the ribbon and fold the end of the ribbon once you reach the end. Hot glue the end on the inside of the headband.

Hot glue the crochet daisies onto the headband and glue a cluster of yellow buttons to the center, attaching the glue to the ribbon on the headband as well. Add greenery, hiding the glue under the petals.

My favorite.
