I fell in love! The sweet flowers and delicate pearl chains were so appealing, I had to have one! Unfortunately, VM does not ship to America. I've been feeling super crafty these past few days, so I decided to try my hand at my own flower piece.
You Will Need:
- scissors
- hot glue gun
- pliers
- one large flower
- one medium flower
- one small flower
- one bobby pin
- one hairpin
- string of pearls
First, remove the stems on the back of all the flowers.
You can be creative with how long you choose your pearl strands to be. The total length for both of my strands is 23 inches, which was just a tad too long for me. Since my pearls came from an old necklace, I already had a small metal loop inserted into both ends. I definitely suggest having these because it makes the application much easier.
Next attach both ends of the pearl strand to a larger metal ring,.
Take your bobby pin and place close to, but not directly in the middle of, your pearl strand.
Use your hot glue gun to glue the medium sized flower to the end of your bobby pin. Since the bobby pin does not have much surface area, I got a little glue on the pearls to help hold the flower in place.
Next, take your small flower and position it next to the medium flower, gluing it to the underside of the petals. Sorry the picture came out so blurry, but I hope you get the idea.

We're almost done! Put glue along the top of your hairpin...
Secure the large flower into said glue, and ta-daaa! You're finished!
This piece can be worn with so many different hairstyles. Here I am wearing it with a simple odango.
What do you think of my first tutorial? I'm really happy with how it turned out, and can't wait to wear it to work for the first time tomorrow~! There are endless creative possibilities you can make with this, I'd love to see what you come up with!
