This is a tutorial on how to make a large flower hair accessory. These can be worn by children as a hair decoration and some ladies I know wear them as a hair volumiser under their hijab. Many I have seen in stores / online were large flower clip ones which looked just like one of the flowers I had in my house!
So, I decided to make one myself from the materials I already had at home - so a completely free project yeah!
Requirements
- Large Flower (not real one obviously!)
- Hair Bobble / or a Clip
- Needle and Thread (optional craft glue)
Instructions
Step 1: Remove the stem or any other attachment
Step 2: Hand Stitch where any part may need securing after removing stem etc.
Step 3: Hand sew the bobble onto the flower - securing tightly - or use craft glue (If using Clip - either hand sew or use craft glue)
As you can see this is a really quick and easy project to do and saved me quite a lot of money!
Added Notes:
I am not an islamic scholar and I know some people have commented that the hijab volumisers are haram so I am sorry if I have upset anyone. I don't personally wear these flower accessories as I like a simple hijab but I do know many ladies who wear these and a friend of mine asked me about making one and this was my solution. I am not here to encourage people to wear them as a volumizer that is a personal choice. These can simply be worn as a hair accessory which as far as I know isn't haram. Thanks for your feedback.

DeleteCute and simple -- and money saving makes a perfect project! Thanks so much for linking on Busy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThanks - yes I love money saving projects!
DeleteThat'd be a cute hair tie for little girls. I like the band idea instead of a clip which is likely to just slide out from their hair.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like hair bobbles. Slides normally fall out easily!
