Now, this project is not as creative as making my own flowers from fabric; however I wanted to give this method a try. I do like the results, but the process is not quite as rewarding.
1. Take apart a silk flower. This flower had enough pedals to make 2 hair flowers :)
2. Take all plastic parts out, leaving just the pedals.
3. Starting in the back, using a needle and thread, sew the pedals together.
4. If desired, sew pearls/beads/gems into the center of the flower.
5. Cut and glue a small felt circle to the back of the flower. This helps keeps pedals "pushed" forward and gives a place to tack a clip.
6. Sew a clip to the felt on the back of the flower.
I have yet to decide if this is the method I will use for my wedding day....
