Do it yourself Mondays {Gorgeous Chiffon and Tulle Hair
Flowers}

Project Wedding has done it again! These easy to make Chiffon and Tulle hair flowers are such a beautiful and affordable hair accessory for you or your bridesmaids on your wedding day. 


SuppliesFor this project you will need fabric - we used chiffon and tulle. Yardage needed will vary based on the number and size of flowers, as well as the fabric thickness. You'll also need a piece of paper, a pen, scissors, pins, needle and thread, glass seed beads, and a plain hair clip or comb. 

Instructions
Step1To make a stencil first free hand a rose petal shape and cut out. Then retrace it five times on a larger sheet of paper to create a full flower shape. This will help you get an even pattern. Cut out pattern.


Step 2 Take some fabric and fold it into a square a little larger than your flower pattern. Pin the pattern to fabric and carefully cut it out. Repeat this process until you have enough layers to make a full flower - the number of layers will vary depending on the weight of your fabrics and the size of your flower. The example shown here uses approximately 26 layers. 

Step 3Stack flower cut outs, alternating fabric types and staggering petals. Use a needle and thread to secure them together at the center.
Step 4Pinch together the center of the flower (from the bottom) and secure with stitches to create volume and give the flower and authentic shape.

Step5If desired you can sew decorative beads in the inside center of the flower.
