Crochet Flower Hair Clip Tutorial
Materials Needed
- Silk thread (various colors).
- 0.7 mm crochet hook.
- Head pin and clip.
- Jump rings.
- Small beads.
- Tools: bead cutter, pliers, scissors, needle and thread.
- Glue and starch.
Step 1: Creating the Base Flower
- Begin by making a ring with the silk thread.
- Use single crochets to form a base round, joining it with a slip stitch.
- In subsequent rounds, increase stitches as necessary to expand the flower.
- Create petal structures by adding chains and double crochets in specific patterns.
- Work evenly across the round to craft individual petals; repeat this process until a full flower is formed.
- Finish the flower by securing threads and cutting any excess.
Step 2: Adding Beads
- Use a needle and thread to attach beads around the center of the flower.
- Alternatively, glue can be used to secure beads for quicker application.
- Depending on preferences, create one or more layers of beading around the center.
- Add a larger bead at the very center for emphasis and flair.
- Secure and trim threads as needed.
Step 3: Crocheting the Second Layer
- Repeat the flower-making process with a different thread color to create a second flower.
- Add puff stitches in alternating sections to create variation.
- Join stitches carefully to ensure symmetry with the first layer.
- Complete and finish the second flower, carefully shaping the petals.
Step 4: Shaping and Starching
- Apply starch to all petals, focusing on the edges for a crisp appearance.
- Use your fingers to shape the petals, accentuating the curves.
- Straighten both the inner and outer petals to ensure the flower maintains its structure and a natural look.
Step 5: Building the Clip Assembly
- Insert a bead onto a head pin and bend it to create a hook for attachment.
- Attach the head pin and bead assembly to the crochet flower using jump rings.
- Create a crochet string for additional detailing; attach it to the back of the flower.
- Layer the smaller flower on top of the larger one and secure them together by tightly knotting threads.
Step 6: Attaching the Flower to the Clip
- Apply waterproof glue to a plain clip.
- Carefully press the completed crochet flower onto the glued clip to secure it in place.
- Ensure the placement is firm and symmetry is maintained.
- Allow the glue to dry completely before use.
