Easter and Spring are just around the corner! I look forward to this time of year because my crafty projects take on a whole new direction as I seek out my pastel colors, pretty embellishments and Spellbinders™flower die templates. Did you know that together with the Grand Calibur® die cutting machine, that Spellbinders die templates can cut through felt? On today's project I will show you how to create pretty hair barrettes using pure wool felt and just a few other basic supplies - all in time for Easter and Spring!

Hair Barrette clips, pure wool felt, needle & thread.
I purchased my hair barrettes from a general craft store and the pure wool felt was easier to find from speciality knitting stores. The pure wool felt has a very clean neat edge when cut with Spellbinders die templates. The end results are achieved effortlessly and look beautiful.
I trimmed a piece of felt to fit over my die template and cut several shapes out at once using my Grand Calibur machine.
After hand stitching my petals and leaves to one another I adhered a strip of Scor-Tape to my barrette and adhered a section of felt to the top. I hand stitched my flower to the base of the barrette and finished off each flower with different embellishments such as brads, buttons and felt balls.
Here is a picture of my youngest daughter showing off Mommy's creations. They were really super easy to put together and I think the end result is more than fabulous. Girl's hair accessories can be a costly endeavor (especially with two under the age of 8!) so this venture is not only fun but I think pretty special too - because Mommy made them :)
Thanks for popping in today.
