It may be Spring but these crochet flower hair clips can really be made year round. They are inexpensive to make and take about 5 minutes! I've used them for photo shoots, gifts, craft fairs and accents on other crochet projects! I have a fascination with crochet thread and I love the colors they come in now! My favorite places to find them are Amazon, WalMart or Hobby Lobby (I always see who has the best prices). When I was preparing for a craft fair I was given the advice of having small items as well as big ones. These are what I made for my small items. I made combinations of layered flowers with pearl beads and roses of many colors (I recommend making the roses or excluding the pearl bead if you intend these for little ones under 3 as they can be a choking hazard). The pattern for the rose is very similar to my pattern here that I used on my bunny headbands. With the rose below I kept the petals the same size instead of tapering so they are nice and full. Using crochet thread gives them a dainty delicate look that is great for all ages! My favorite hair pieces to use are alligator clips and metal hair clips, but these also work great on french barrettes or sewn onto nylon headbands! If you'd like to save this for later you can PIN it to your favorite board!
