How to Make Distinctive Ribbon Flower Hair Clips with Beads

The flower in this ribbon flower hair clip is made in a genius way. There are a lot of ribbon petals in different colors and sizes to form this ribbon flower, and I choose to overlap different petals and glue these layered petals irregularly instead of arranging same petals into a flower shape as usual. The key to make this ribbon flower hair clip beautiful is color match and harmony of all petals.

How to make ribbon flower hair clips with beads?

Step 1: make petals

1st, cut out four strips from burgundy ribbon measuring 14cm, four strips from lavender ribbon measuring 12cm, three strips from 25mm pink ribbon measuring 10cm and four strips from 16mm pink ribbon measuring 8cm;
2nd, take a wider pink strip and running stitch one long side with matching thread;
3rd, pull the thread tightly and knot to make a petal;
4th, do the same to make other petals. We have four burgundy petals, four lavender petals, three large pink petals and four small pink petals in all.

Step 2: finish the ribbon flower

1st, lay a large pink petal on a burgundy petal in same direction;
2nd, lay a lavender petal atop and secure three petals with glue;
3rd, glue a large pink petal with a burgundy petal under the above three petals with making the petals slightly farther apart;
4th, overlap a small pink petal, a lavender petal, a large pink petal and a burgundy petal from top to bottom, then glue them next to above two new petals as shown;
5th, glue a small pink petal, a lavender petal and a burgundy petal orderly in the middle of two large petal groups to finish the flower. Then I glue a small pink petal on the lavender petal in 2nd of step 2 for good looking;
6th, glue a small pink petal on a lavender petal, and then glue them to the vacant place of the flower.

Step 3: embellish the ribbon flower

1st, glue five shell beads on each smallest petal of the flower;
2nd, glue an imitation pearl on each shell bead;
3rd, glue a porcelain bead in the center of the flower;
4th, cut out a circle from felt and glue at back of the flower, then glue hair barrette on.
