HOW TO: Bow Petal Barrette

Bow Petal Barrette

From clothing to accessories, the spring season is the perfect time to embrace anything floral and feminine. This project uses faux flowers to create a cute and simple bow with faux petals, allowing you to use fake flowers in a creative way. You’ll only need four petals for one barrette, meaning that you’ll be able to make more than one barrette from most faux flowers. Don’t be afraid to try different color combinations and embellishment techniques!

– White faux flower petals
– Watercolor paint and water
– Paintbrush
– Hot glue gun
– Barrette
– Flatback rhinestone
– Scissors

1) Cut the petals so that you have four separate pieces.

2) Mix the watercolor paint with a small amount of water, and paint two petals. Let dry.

3) Hot glue on top of the two white petals (optional: paint the remaining white petals a contrasting color)

4) Hot glue the petals onto the barrette, smaller ends meeting in the center.

5) Hot glue the rhinestone to the center. You can also use buttons, vintage brooches or old pendants!
