Guest Blogger DIY Tutorial ~ Rosetta Hair Pins

♥´¨)
(¸.♥  Hello friends!  I have a special guest blogger today, please welcome the lovely Anna from In Honor of Design.  Anna will be spilling all her secrets in this wonderful tutorial, now let's give Anna a warm welcome...

♥´¨)
(¸.♥  Diana, thanks so much for having me:) I am going to share with you a DIY that is simple to do, and can be worn or gifted to someone! You may wonder why I would share how to make your own Rosette Pins when I sell them here, but I am all about promoting making things handmade. (As long as you don't re-sell these;) These pictures are pretty self-explanatory...but I know it helps to explain just in case. Start from the top left! 

What you need:
pre-cut fabric petals or any fabric circles
thread &needle
bobby pins
1) Fold your first petal in quarters, stitch on the bottom side 
of the folds.
2) Place the stitching side down into the center of the second 
petal folded in half. Fold petal around the inner petal and 
stitch on the sides again.
3) Repeat this step, except add the bobby pin on the inside 
and stitch around it.
4) On the last stitch, pull through the center of the rosette, cut 
the thread, and knot. This way, the knot will not show on 
the outside....
Make two or three and wear in your hair to welcome the spring!

♥´¨)
(¸.·♥  Thanks so much Anna!!  Now what are you girls waiting for?  The sun is shining brightly... go put some flowers in your hair!!

About Me

I love coral-colored nail polish on my toes in the spring. I love exploring new places... strolling through quaint streets in Heidelberg or Paris, or simply discovering a new boutique around the corner from my home. I'm not fussy.
