Corsages for Christmas

An update is long overdue, and what better time than the manic week just before Christmas! In between shopping, wrapping and writing cards I've somehow found time to make a few little hair accessories.

These corsage style flowers are inspired by the streets of London - out and about I have noticed more and more girls wearing fascinators and hair accessories as casual wear. This is not about weddings, it's about what you wear to work, study or play.

There are a range of colours available and I am more than happy to do custom orders. Mention this blog and I'll give 10% off!

Feeling a little bit crafty this week? All you need to make this simple hair clip is a button, a scrap of your favourite fabric, a hair clip or pin and a needle and thread.

Step 2

Pick your button...

Step 3

Stitch your button firmly to the material. This is a bit tricky as you don't want any of the edges you have so carefully pinned to sneak out from under the button.

Top tip: don't prick your finger like I do every time I sew

Step 4

Attach your rosette to a hair clip using either your needle and thread or a blob of fabric glue. Simples.

Voila - the finished product.
