Fancy Shmancy Hair Pin
December 20, 2009 8:23 pmThis weekend my family and I went to the Charles Dickins Fair. It was one of the most fun things I have ever been to!
One of the things I was inspired by were all the crazy hats! Here are my sisters modeling a few.
… and even my brother…(he’s gonna KILL me)
… and Giselle…
…and Isabel.
Then I saw these bird and flower pins and thought they were too fun.
So here’s a little instructional on how to make your own fancy dress up pin.
Start with a piece of felt cut in a circle.
For my pin I used, flowers, feathers, a little bird I had around, and some tulle.
Glue your flowers on to the felt circle.
Then glue the feathers on, with a nest of tulle in the center for your birdie to rest on. Then you can glue any kind of clip or headband to it.
Then you put on your fanciest outfit and adorn your hair with your fanciest hair pin.
You spin like a fairy…
…pick flowers like a lady…
…stop to smell the roses…
…then enjoy a spot of tea…
…all in your fanciest hair pin.

Looks like the fair was a lot of fun.
The pin would be perfect to make for a little girl to play dress up with – very fancy looking!
