Fabric Flowers

So I'm working my way back in girly world.
Obviously for myself I mean.

Pre-marriage/housebuilding/babycreating/motherhood I used to wear make up, fix my hair, and attempt to look cute on a daily basis.

Those days seem so distant.

So today my hair was greasy.
Too greasy to wear down.

I put on my go to headband keeping my hair where it should be so as not to remind any one crossing my path to notice my slightly slick hair. 

Then I say to myself 
"Self, you can do better than that."

and I did.

I turned to my fabric and button collection to give me some girly/mommy pizzaz to my head. 
 
I cut out uneven circles of different sizes from some scrap fabric.


Out of the three fabric flowers, one of them I just layed the scraps on top of each other untouched, one I cut out in the shape of a flower and laid the scraps on top of each other, and for the last one I used my finger nail and rain it against the edges to wrinkle and fray them just like the photo above. 


Simply stack and sew together.

Then hot glue a button in the center. 
 
Either hot glue the flowers to a headband, barrette, or just attach a safety pin to spruce up plain shirts or dresses. 


From plain Jane 


to sassy Sally
Okay it's not really sassy actually it's kind of sweet.
I like that I can wear it or Adeline can wear it, and I don't look like a goober with something strange on my head. 
[I don't look like a goober, do I?]


 She doesn't look like a goober.
