I made this little flower felt barrette (with beads and chain-stitch embroidery) as part of My Life Under the Bus felt smack down challenge. We were supposed to make something inspired by Salley Mavor's Felt Wee Folk book of the most adorable felt creations. In the future I may make some of the fairies, or even bring the supplies with me to make with Miss L and Miss J some future weekend. In the meantime I thought that barrettes are a simple accessory that all little girls would appreciate. Each of the little petals is individually cut and then sewn to the green base felt. It needed some glitz, thus the shiny seed beads for the final accent.
What a lovely barrett. I am working with some felt and pearl cotton and having fun. Thank you for sharing. Keep creating...
