DIY Burlesque - How To Make A Flower Hair Slide!

What You Will Need:

  • Silk Flowers

  • Glue Gun

  • Glue Sticks

  • Felt

  • Medium Crocodile Hair Clip

How To:

  • Using your scissors cut your silk flower heads which you are wanting to use for your clips at the base of the flower cutting off the stem. With some silk flower bunches, you may be able to pull the flower heads off from the stems.

  • Using your felt and scissors you will need to cut your felt into square shapes roughly 2cm squares like in pic 1.

  • Using your glue gun add some glue to the underneath of your silk flower head in the center where it has been removed from the stem-like in pic 2, and position and hold one of your crocodile hair clips. Make sure you add enough glue to secure the crocodile hair clip then leave to set for a couple of minutes like in pic 3.

  • Using your felt squares and your glue gun add some glue to your felt like in pic 4.

  • Open the crocodile clip which you have secured onto the underneath of your flower head and position your piece of felt over the underneath of your silk flower head and crocodile clip like in pic 5. This just makes your crocodile clip more secure to the flower head.

Voila! Your flower slides are ready for you to wear!

Please remember to be careful when using your glue gun and glue sticks. The glue is very hot to use and can burn and blister when in contact with your skin.
