I did a little non-paper crafting earlier this month and made some sweet wool felt flower hair clips. The felt for these flowers was all hand cut, the flowers assembled, and finally hand stitched to a barrett. I added pearls to the centers, and gave them all a quick dusting of fine silver glitter.
Similar rolled felt flowers can be made using paper crafting tools you may have on hand ... like circle, scallop, or even flower dies (like the Spellbinders Blossom and Peony dies). Or you can buy dies made specifically for making rolled flowers. I chose to hand cut the felt for these. The flowers are so fun to make that I guarantee I will be making a variety of others!
You can find lots of inspiration online if you search for felt flower hair accessories, and look at the images results.
Packaged up, they'll make a fun gift to give, and hopefully receive!

Hey crafty vacation gal!!! These are totally adorable. You take simple little things like clips and felt, combine just the right colors sizes, shapes and embellishments and make mini little masterpieces that so look like something that if we really, really tried and looked hard at your example, then maybe, just maybe, we might be able to do it too!! You are such an inspiration. Thanks and have such a wonderful vacation with the girlfriends.

Soooo sweet! And the flower on the packaging looks like it could be worn in the hair too. You're such a crafty girl!

P.S. Maybe your Dad would like some under-garments decorated in your frilly-sparkely flowers ... altho I do know that wool is itchy *wink* Heheheheeee

Oh I adore wool felt so naturally I am head over heels over your hand cut wool felt flower clips. The little dusting of micro-glitter adds the perfect highlight and your packaging is absolutely heartwarming. I would hazard a guess that the lucky recipient won't want to open the pretty packaging. So very pretty!
