See It Again Saturday: Little Lace Flower

If you missed the Field Trip this week at A Few of My Favorite Things this is what we did:
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!

    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!

    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!
