How-To Make Posy Pins...



  • First find a fabric that you like.  I decided to reuse an old t-shirt I found from a thrift store for this one.
  • You then trace & cut 18 circles + or -, depending on the weight or thickness of your fabric and how full you want your pin to be.
  • Next you cut wavy lines or "petals" around the circles.  You then fold the circle shape in half and then again. Hot glue it closed so it doesn't flap open.
  • Cut out slightly smaller felt circle for your backing.  After this is done, you can begin to glue down your "petals" around the outside edge of your backing circle.
  • Upon gluing all the way around, you start making your way in a bit to fill in the middle until you no longer see your backing and until it is as full as you like it to be.
  • Lastly, you cut a small piece of felt to attach the pin and/or hair clip to the back.
  • If you like, you can also add a button to the middle or leave it the way it is!
  • TA-DA, total cuteness!!!
