If you missed the Field Trip this week at A Few of My Favorite Things this is what we did:
Little Lace Flower
Little Lace Flower
What you'll need:
Lace Trim - Felt - Glue Gun
Step One: Trace and cut two circles out of your felt.
Step Two: Apply a thin bead of glue to the outside of your felt circle.
Step Three: Stick the inside edge of your lace trim to the glue.
Step Four: Continue steps 2&3 in small increments.
(I used an old thimble to prevent burning my fingers on the hot glue.)
Step Five: When you get to the center just cut your trim and glue end down.
Optional Steps: Now you can either leave the lace flower as is or embellish the center:
(I found these adorable brads at Target)
You will want to make a pilot hole with your craft knife, then add your brad.
Now you have a cute little lace flower!
Isn't she pretty! You can use this so many different ways!
I choose to put it on a large bobby pin.

(When I make soft headbands I sew the elastic with a long overlap and opening so I can slide these puppies right in!)
To secure to the bobby pin slide you 2nd piece on felt through the center.
Now glue your lace flower on top!
Tada! I love the vintage feel & can't wait to wear it!

saw you on UCreate...so cute!
I just love this. I am so excited to make one and share your idea with my friends too. They will love it. :) Thanks!
I saw lace for 50% off at Hobby Lobby yesterday and was tempted to make this, but then found myself paralyzed by indecision. What color of lace? Can I pull off a lacy flower accessory? It is adorable!
Thank you for the post....I purchased tons of lace at a closeout. Now I know what to do with some of it.
You have inspired me to try this sweet yet elegant project with some antique lace and buttons I have not found a use for until now! Thanks bunches for the post!
This is so pretty! I love the lace. I just clicked over from Craft Gossip. I would love to link to this if you didn't mind.
Can't wait to see your versions! Make sure to email pictures to alyashcreations@gmail.com
And Denise, a little lace flower would look fantastic in your beautiful red hair!
So pretty, love the way you used the lace to make the flower.

Woohoo...I love it. Thank you for that great tute! And I love the idea of using the thimble. I will definitely use that next time I am hot gluing. I have two blisters on my fingers from using my new hot glue gun and the glue dripped...ouch!
I love these! Thanks for sharing.

I love it! Love Love! And I think this is one I might actually be able to make! :)
Very cute and those button brads are too cool! :)

This is so pretty. You could wear it with so mnay things!
Laura @ along for the ride
p.s. I have a blog party on Saturdays and I'd love it if you linked up!
This is so so so pretty. I always find myself "inheriting", more like accumulating, vintage fabric and lace from my grandmas, and this would be the perfect gift to give back to them for their kindness of letting me scavenge through their stuff!! Thank You:)

Hi, saw your tutorial on Coco Loves Vintage. I'm going to be getting out my vintage lace and making some of these up. Thanks for sharing;_)
This is sooo pretty! I would like to use that in one of my paper art projects. Thanks for sharing. Great tutorial.
Very cute! I love the idea.you have done nice job. flowers to Pakistan
How cute are you! I found this on pinterest and just love it. Can't wait to make one for myself!
Sooo cute! I've made these before but not with brads. What a great idea and it gives such an easy vintage look. Question: where do you get your bobby pins? They seem so much easier to glue flowers onto. Great job!
Adorable!!
Thanks for this tut, I love it and am sure going to make one :)
Where can I find the large bobby pins at?
Also, am I the only who needa a little help on the actual flower making part, HELP!!
This is so pretty! I've included it in our fabric flower round-up on the FaveCrafts Blog here: http://www.favecraftsblog.com/link-love-flowers-from-fabric/

I love these! I looked all over for vintage flower tutorials a year ago and ended up resorting to designing my own: http://www.livinginlilliput.com/2012/03/lace-rose-tutorial.html
I'm excited to try a few of these too! Thanks! Oh, and if you have a second to check out the pics on my blog, I clustered the flowers in different sizes on headbands and barrettes - and used pearls as centers - LOVE your antique-looking brads for a more casual feel! So many uses to these fun vintage lace flowers!
Hi! I made one of these adorable flowers for my daughter and blogged it with a link back to you for the tutorial! Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://sittingatourkitchentable.blogspot.com/2012/06/raising-her-ears.html
