Dandelion made of felt - hairpins for little charmers. Felt flowers: DIY fashion jewelry How to make felt hairpins for beginners

Recently, felt hairpins have become especially popular. And not unreasonably! Felt is not only a beautiful material, but also practical - it does not shrink, the edges do not crumble, it is easy to wash and dries quickly. The process of making a felt hairpin with your own hands can be divided into two parts: making jewelry and attaching it to the hairpin.

To make a felt hairpin you will need:

  • felt different colors;
  • thread and needle for sewing;
  • beads, beads for the core of the flower;
  • glue "Moment" or glue gun;
  • hairpins.

Making decorations from felt for hairpins

Basically, hairpins are decorated with flowers and felt appliqués. The edges of felt single parts can not be overcast.

Felt flowers can be made different ways. For example, cut a circle with a diameter of 7-8 cm, cut a strip about 2.5 cm wide in a spiral, twist, sew - this will turn out to be a small rose for a hairpin.

More time consuming to make flowers from individual petals, but the time spent is worth the result.

The technology for making flowers from individual petals is similar - petals of various configurations are cut out, which are then assembled into a flower with a needle and thread, or glued with a glue gun to a small base circle (diameter 2-3 cm, depending on the size of the flower and hairpins) .

Hairpins with felt applications are very popular with little girls. Still would! After all, you can decorate the hairpin with any character you like from a cartoon or a book. To do this, it is enough to redraw and cut out a picture from paper, cut out details from felt and sew together with contrasting threads or to match the main fabric.

Attaching the felt embellishment to the barrette

You can attach the jewelry to the hairpin in two ways: glue it with universal glue, for example, Moment and Super Glue glue have proven themselves well, or by sewing it with threads to the hairpin. For reliable fastening, you can combine these two methods - first glue the jewelry to the hairpin, and then fasten it with hand stitches.

After spending half an hour of your personal time, you can easily make felt hair clips with your own hands, not only for yourself and your daughter, but also for friends and their children.

The original decorative decoration in the style of Handmade - flowers made of felt. It's easy to do and pretty quick, but it turns out very unusual and beautiful.

Felt, it should be noted, is a favorite material for needlework masters. How many opportunities it opens up for creating a designer gizmo. Judge for yourself how original the flower brooch will look on a black dress. And in general on a dress of any solid color. After all, sometimes a small accessory is enough to make the same outfit look fresh and new. And with felt decorations, you can complement the appearance of the box, arrange a postcard or photo album. Felt flowers look original on handbags, hairpins, as a decoration for hairbands, as well as in the design of any gift souvenirs.

A few words about what is felt, and what are the reasons for its popularity. Felt is nothing more than felt made from the wool of a rabbit or goat. In turn, felt is a non-woven textile. Wool or synthetic fibers can be used as a base. The choice of wool is due to the peculiarity of its structure. The fact is that the edges of its fibers have so-called "notches". This ensures good adhesion of the fibers to each other.

Making flowers from felt with your own hands is an exciting and not difficult task. And all this thanks to the pliability of the material. It differs in its density and thickness. Felt can be bought at almost any needlework store or ordered online. More often on sale there are felt sheets with a thickness of 2-2.5 mm and a size of 30 * 40 cm, as well as a thickness of 4 mm with a size of 20 * 30 cm.

At the stage of choosing shades, you can show all the richness of your own imagination. The creative process is fully consistent with the author's intent and imagination, and therefore products can be created in any color solutions. Fortunately, the modern market for needlework products makes it easy to implement even the most daring ideas. Someone uses ready-made felt sheets with floral prints. Others prefer to combine the original contrasting colors. The boundaries of this process are determined solely by the taste of the master.

Materials for flowers from felt

  • scissors
  • glue for fabric
  • pins
  • thread and needle
  • all kinds of beads, beads and buttons of different sizes for decorating flower cores;
  • floss threads, the shades of which should differ by several tones in one direction or another from the original color of the felt. They are used to decorate the edges of future flowers.

Felt flowers, patterns of which can be found in large quantities in the catalogs of online magazines, as a rule, are very plainly designed. An ordinary chamomile pattern can be used as a basis. But the work, made in several layers of contrasting or monochrome colors, acquires a completely different idea. Cut out paper petals. This will be the template. Here are some ready-made patterns for felt flowers:

Consider the assembly process using the example of a flower made according to this pattern:

First, you need to recreate the template pattern directly on the fabric.

Then the edge of each petal is sheathed with a skillful seam using floss or not processed at all.

We put the petals on top of each other from largest to smallest (or vice versa) and sew in the center to form a deepening of the future flower (you need to sew tightly). And let's move on to creating the core. A circle cut out of felt is planted on glue and placed in the middle of the flower.

Sequins, pre-prepared beads, beautiful beads will give the author's originality to the resulting work of art.

Depending on the intended purpose of the product, we attach a pin or sew an elastic band to its reverse side.

We post a few more photos of flowers that inspire new creations. Each of these flowers uses French knots as an additional decoration:

The felt flowers presented below are master classes from the masters of needlework. These works will help beginners master the simple creativity of creating decorative floral elements.

Felt rose (master class)

This amazing accessory is ready to "settle" on evening dress or the coat of its resourceful owner.

Let's start at the base of the flower. To do this, prepare a circle, the diameter of which will be 10 cm. Cut out semicircular petals along the edges of the circle, gradually moving from the outer edge inwards.

The central part is rolled up, thus forming the core of the future rose.

It must be fixed with a pin and filled with a layer of glue. After the glue dries, it is necessary to wind the rest of the felt on the resulting bud and close the cut from the bottom side.

Here is such a wonderful rose will turn out in the end!

If you make a few roses, glue them to a piece of fabric and sew on a metal clasp, you will get a wonderful brooch!

For clarity, a few more roses made according to a similar principle:

How to decorate from felt shows Tsvoric (TSVORIK) (music by Key.peter):

Felt violet (master class)

Materials for work:

  • felt (sheets of two different colors: lilac for petals, green for leaves)
  • scissors
  • threads, the color of which must match the color of the violet

Let's prepare 5 templates for future petals (diameter - 4 cm):

Take one of the petals in your hands and fold it in half twice. We get a petal in the form of a corner:

With a couple of stitches we attach a corner to one of the blanks:

Repeat the steps for the rest of the corner petals. To achieve the desired neat effect, carefully monitor the direction of the petals (they should be directed in one direction):

At the end of the work, the flower should be well straightened:

Let's move on to cutting the leaves:

We sew them together:

Raising the petal, we fasten the leaves with the base:

We enjoy the result!

With such flowers you can decorate, for example, a rim:

Chrysanthemum from felt (master class)

The strip of felt must be folded in half (in width). For reliability, fasten with sewing pins.

On the side where the fold was made, we form the same cuts.

We sew the strip with matching threads with large stitches and roll it into a roll, forming petals. We fix by sewing the layers together in several places.

It remains to straighten the felt and form a beautiful flower!

This flower will consist of a large number of petals.

Having cut out rectangles from felt, we have a fringe on one edge, and round off the other. Petals should be about 20. They should all be different sizes.

We pinch the edge that was rounded and fix the petal with glue.

We form a flower:

Cut out yellow color strip. Cut it on one side. Then we roll it up and fix it with glue. We get the finished core.

To use a flower as a flower, you need to wrong side attach a small piece of felt to the base, and then chop everything with a pin or metal clasp.

Felt hydrangea (master class)

Flower materials:

  • scissors
  • glue gun

It is necessary to cut out 13 felt circles of the following sizes: 1 piece - 3 cm in diameter, 12 pieces - 2 cm in diameter.

We apply glue (hot) to the center of each circle and thus form the future petals.

We take a large circle and, using a glue gun, distribute 4 prepared petals around its perimeter.

Glue the next four between these petals. Repeat until the circle is filled.

Pillow with flowers made of felt

First, cut out the petals from the felt:

Using the template, we prepare 6 felt circles (diameter - 12cm)

Glue the petals to one of the circles using hot glue.

Gradually add the next row (total - 4)

We create the middle. Fold the circle twice:

Fold in half again:

Trimming the end:

Smeared with glue, attach to the blank of the future flower.

5 circles go to the middle.

The result should be such a charming flower:

Decorate the pillow with the resulting flower.

And now the most interesting! When creating flowers from felt with your own hands, you should carefully look at the various options for their inflorescence and the shape of the petals in wildlife. It is this observation that will tell the needlewoman the shape and ratio of the sizes of the necessary blanks.

The whole charm of this creativity lies in the fact that absolutely any of the colors existing in nature can be reproduced in felt: both delicate, and contrasting, and lush multi-colored ... You just need to choose the color of felt that matches the future shade of the product. Then cut out blanks in the form and circles for the future core, first from paper, and then from fabric.

On last step it is necessary to assemble all the prepared elements with glue or stitches so that a flower is obtained. And then, based on our own ideas about how to reflect the images of wildlife in art and creativity, we decorate our work with all sorts of improvised means. It can be embroidery or glass beads or shiny sequins. Everything that the soul desires.

See an example of decor in the Lucky Fox Felt Poppy tutorial:

Felt is a very popular material often used in needlework. Due to the dense structure of this material, the range of products is very diverse. Many needlewomen like to make original hairpins for adults and children from colored felt.

This material is completely unpretentious in work. It does not have a front and back side, the edges do not crumble. Details can be sewn both manually and on sewing machine.

Reference! Felt is a non-woven material produced by felting from the down of rabbits, hares and goats. The composition of such a material may be different, since in modern industry felt is made with the addition of various synthetic fibers.

It is easy to make beautiful and unusual hair clips from this material. To do this, you can, for example, use the patterns below.

  • Along the edges of the white petals, you need to walk a little with a marker to get a beautiful pink border.
  • From the skein of threads, you need to cut off a long part and then fold it so that the length of each thread is no more than 5 cm. On the one hand, the threads should be tied with a strong knot, and on the other, carefully cut all the resulting loops. This will be the blank for the stamens.
  • 4 large petals must be glued to the base of the stamens (directly to the node), evenly placing them around the circumference.
  • Four white petals should be pasted over a bead made of wood so that an unopened bud is formed. In the same way, you need to form a second bud.
  • Each green leaf must be glued at the base so that the opposite tips are in contact with each other. Thanks to this, the leaves will acquire additional volume and a more natural look.

Summer, fluffy madness is on our agenda today, friends. We will make a dandelion from felt - unusual in shape and appearance handmade hairpins. bright, sunny, original jewelry! Moreover, they will be quite voluminous and large. Like the one in the picture above. These, by the way, are the very hairpins that adorned the cover of the Masterclass girl needlework magazine (my pride is).

As usual, with the advent of warmth and sunshine, I want something beautiful and elegant. So it's time to talk about hairstyles. Or rather, about what these hairstyles are based on. Not even with us, but with our children.

We are, of course, talking about girls - our little fashionistas and parachutes. It’s not very convenient for me to bypass our boys, but at the moment I can’t even imagine what kind of jewelry they can wear and what they might like so unusual and beautiful. That's why…

If you have any thoughts on this, then I kindly ask you to unsubscribe in the comments to the article - what, with what and how our boys wear jewelry, accessories. And most importantly - what kind of jewelry and accessories. Because everything is clear with girls - bows (), hairpins (for example,), headbands, elastic bands and other beauty for hair. And here are the boys...

Looking ahead a little, I also want to advise you to read a few more curious and fragrant master classes. In my collection of felt flowers, the brightest specimens can be safely considered (as many as 7 various options), a touching charmer, also made of felt with her own handles and, of course, my favorite and so different in character prickly baby brooches in the form of.

Anyway. Let's not be distracted anymore. Let's better quickly try to make a small felt flower that looks so much like a real sun!

Felt hairpins - do-it-yourself in one evening

It is not at all difficult to make such hairpins. But still it will require from you a sufficient amount of time, effort and accuracy. However, all these investments will more than pay off when the hairpins take their place. Therefore, if today you had an evening free from household chores and worries, then why not devote it to needlework? I think your daughter will appreciate your work.

In fact, I am very glad that I finally have the opportunity to write about these unusual dandelions, since I have been in love with them for a long time, but buying ready-made ones is just a problem. Either the color is not the same, then the size is not ours. Yes, and in general! What am I - not a craftswoman or something ?! And then - with your own hands, it always turns out better and more elegant! Is it true?

In general, I decided to put aside all my business and distractions for a while and began to create a new decoration for my beauty - fluffy hairpins made of felt with my own hands. Yellow suns.

Here's how these unusual hairpins in the form of a yellow dandelion felt flower look in a hairstyle.

Here, in the photo, the hairpins are attached to green rubber bands, tied in advance on the ponytails. It all looks very organic and neat together. You like? Then get to work! We prepare materials, read a master class and create our own sunny meadow of dandelions.

List of materials or what we need

To make these truly summer, joyful and radiant flowers from felt, you will need a standard set of materials, which you have probably already gotten used to for all the time that we have been sewing together. Nevertheless, I will again consider individual items from this list in a little more detail.

  1. felt 1 mm thick
  2. metal hair clips
  3. needle and thread or sewing typewriter
  4. carpet cutter or roller blade
  5. scissors and glue gun

Basic material, which interests us today, has primarily yellow and green color. Green can take even two different shades. We will need it when we make felt leaves.

Before the purchase clamps please be very careful. Check them for performance and do not take the cheapest ones. I've come across a couple of times with terrible quality clips. It's a shame, but the money was wasted.

Roller knife if you still don’t have it, it’s not necessary to buy specifically in order to complete this master class. Dandelion will work without it. But you must have a cutter. Make sure the blade is sharp before starting work and replace it with a new one if necessary.

Felt dandelion. We smile and plow

In fact, this is, of course, a joke. We don't have to plow. I already said that the work here for half the evening. Well, a maximum for the evening, no more. And this is provided that you do not have a sewing machine and you will do all the seams manually.

So, the first thing we will do is cut out a strip of yellow felt 8 cm wide and 30.5 cm long. We bend this strip in half lengthwise and with a simple pencil (or chalk) we outline the future line of the line.

On a sewing machine or by hand, we sew a line exactly along this intended line. Then we cut the thread.

We take scissors in our hands and make cuts along the entire length of our workpiece to a width of about 0.3 cm. We make cuts from the edge of the fold and not reaching 1 cm to the edge of the strip. That is why we performed a line a little earlier. So we marked the boundary beyond which it is impossible to cross.

We cut our strip slowly, slowly, so that everything is smooth, neat and beautiful.

After everything is cut, we gradually apply hot glue and begin to twist our strip as tightly as possible at the base (where the line is).

We glue the very beginning of the strip well, and then, step by step, we twist it, applying glue along the entire length of the edge.

Make sure the base is level. Those. the lower edge of the strip along its entire length should be at the same level and not move a millimeter from turn to turn.

A small caveat

Glue is applied exactly near the line that we drew with a pencil for ease of cutting. As you work further, you will understand why this is important.

The strip is twisted and well fixed. Now we cut every one of the resulting loops at their upper base. A job that requires attention and meticulousness, but not at all difficult and not time-consuming.

Just try to cut so that both halves are the same length. It will not be difficult to do this if, at the time of cutting, pull each of the loops up a little. Cut? Great!

We remember the lesson of biology and make leaves

Despite the fact that the dandelion already looks like a living one, it is clearly missing something, you must agree. Who will be the first to say what exactly? Of course it's leaves.

So it's time to remember school years and biology lessons for grade 6. What did the leaves of these flowers look like when you were a child? Actually nothing has changed since then. Therefore, on a free piece of paper, we draw by hand the intended outline of the sheet.

If you, like me, graduated from school a very, very long time ago, then we do a little easier - open the search and drive in the “dandelion leaf template” there. Then we print the option we like, transfer the contours to a sheet of green felt and cut it out.

After the leaves are cut out, we put them on a sheet of felt of a slightly lighter green color and adjust in the middle. If you do not have a machine, then we sew it manually.

For greater naturalness, you can also stitch veins.

We remove the extra threads and cut off the lower light green layer of the leaf at a distance of 1 mm from the top layer.

These are the leaves I got. Do you have the same? Already like a real dandelion, right? Beautiful!


The leaf turned out just right! Very similar to a real dandelion leaf.

Step back and final assembly

The leaves are ready, the flower, in fact, too. But we need to go back a little and do one more thing. And this will be the most responsible moment for you today.

We need to cut off part of the stem of the flower. The part that we smeared with glue and twisted into a tight roll.

We will cut right below the line. And it is best to do this with a sharp blade of a retractable carpet knife. An ordinary clerical knife may not be able to cope with such a thickness. And we need the cut to be perfectly even and smooth.

We need to remove all unnecessary so that no more than 0.3-0.5 cm remains from the incised petals.

Nothing came loose? If glued at the stage of twisting as I said ( and I have shown exactly how to do it.), then everything should turn out fine.

Now it remains for us to attach the leaves and our most charming fluffy yellow dandelions are ready. But then again - since our task, in addition to the flowers themselves, is also to make hair clips, it’s too early for us to stop again.

Glue leaves to the base of the flower. Two leaves per flower. One is large, the other is smaller.

Now let's measure the diameter of the dandelion stem. It turned out to be 2.2 cm for me.

This means that we need to cut out a circle of yellow felt of exactly the same diameter. We use this circle as a cap to hide all the rough work.

Apply glue to the circle detail and glue.

The final stage of our work will be gluing metal hair clips. And here, too, there are some small features.

Since the base of our felt flower is quite small, we will glue the clip on one of the leaves too. Just move the clip so that it is not visible from the top (front) side of the hairpin and glue it.

This time we use a hot gun with silicone rods as glue.

That's it. Do you like the result? I personally really like it! But even more I love how playful and unusual these hair clips look in hairstyles for little girls. Very cute and absolutely adorable!

I’m willing to bet that if, having reached these lines, you hold exactly the same felt dandelions in your palms, and somewhere near you, nearby, there is a small laughing person with plump cheeks and sparkling eyes, then this very person is already waiting can't wait until you finally put these beautiful pins, reminiscent of the sun in miniature, in their warm, soft hands.

So let's do it quickly! May today give you one more hug!


How do you like the result? I think it's just adorable!

I am very glad that you have been with me all this time again and I will be happy to hear your opinion about this master class.

Of course, felt flowers are not a new topic. And you, for sure, have already seen a lot of ideas and incarnations in this area of ​​our work. But inspiration does not stand still, right? Who knows, maybe today with my fluffy dandelions I will inspire you to create something new and unusual!

Share the material with friends on social networks, add it to your pages or bookmarks, subscribe to my newsletter with new master classes, patterns, patterns, announcements of contests and other equally interesting handicraft projects and always be positive and creatively purposeful!

Creative success to you and good mood!

A piece of felt, threads and a free evening. If you combine all this, you get a beautiful decorative element for accessories.

In order to successfully choose a hairpin or brooch by color and texture, you need to grab a needle and create an unusual, one and only flower from felt with your own hands. You will need a couple of hours of time and the ability to make simple stitches. Felt is a material that is easy and pleasant to work with, it does not crumble and is easily cut. In this master class detailed instructions with a photo of how to make a voluminous pink flower, with leaf bends resembling a peony.

Materials and tools for the master class

To make a felt peony, prepare:

  • thin felt 1.2 mm in two shades of pink - half a sheet of each color;
  • threads to match felt;
  • a bead of white or pink color;
  • needle;
  • sharp scissors;
  • ruler;
  • wax crayon for marking.

Felt can be bought at craft and craft stores, it is sold in sets and is inexpensive.

Peony making process

It’s easier than with leather and, therefore, we invite not only adult needlewomen, but also our youngest readers, who modestly stand behind their mothers. Girls, you can do it!

Mark the details: with wax crayon, draw on dark pink felt three strips 3.5 cm wide and two circles for the base with a diameter of about 5.5 cm (you can use the lid for the template right size), on light pink felt - three stripes 3 cm wide.

Cut out the details without striving for the ideal, as the edges will be processed again.

From dark pink strips, cut rectangles 4 cm long, and from pink strips - 3.5 cm long. For a peony, you will need about 10 large petals and 8 smaller ones, but it is better to make petals with a margin so as not to be distracted by cutting during the assembly of the product. Now we need to work on each petal, this will require good sharp scissors. For each rectangle on one of the narrow sides, make a curved edge - a little wave, a little zigzag, somewhere in the form of a finger, the pattern does not repeat, so the flower will be more magnificent and more like a real one. You can cut the petals in pairs.

Fold each petal with an envelope from below so that it becomes voluminous, grab it with two stitches.

Sew the petal to the base so that it peeks out two-thirds. Sew the next petal close, while straightening.

Sew all the dark pink petals in a circle, trying to make an even circle inside.

Fold the light pink petals in the same way, sewing them, as it were, between the petals of the previous row in a checkerboard pattern, fixing them with a couple of stitches at the very base, they will cover the attachment point of the first row of the felt flower.

Complete the second circle, in the middle an even circle is formed.

For the middle, cut out a light pink rectangle 1.5 cm wide and about 14-16 cm long. Make a wavy uneven edge with scissors. Gather the part into an accordion.

Roll up into a snail, fastening with a couple of stitches with each turn.

Sew the core to the center of the flower and fasten the bead.

Under the bead, you can make stamens from white felt.

From the scraps, open a rectangle for the clasp, sew on the buttons and attach the base with an overcast seam, covering the attachment points of the petals.

You can make a mount with a button or just in the form of a loop.

Felt peony can be attached to any kind of hairpin.

Another decoration is not difficult to fix on a hair hoop.

Due to the fact that the felt flower is made with a button fastener, it can be attached not only to a hairpin and a hoop, but also to a bag, to a loop on a jacket, to a beret. You can, for example, decorate for yourself and your little daughter in the same style and spend a minimum of effort and money on it, such a decorative element will definitely come in handy at a photo shoot.

Try also making bright and small violets to decorate the beret. We still have a lot of interesting information, stay with us in in social networks so you don't miss new posts!

A master class on creating a flower from felt with her own hands was prepared by Stanislav Pichugin especially for the site "Women's Hobbies".
