14 Flipping Out - My Sister the Vampire (18 page)

Trace the three different-sized flower templates on to a piece of paper and cut them out.

Now choose three different scraps of fabric (or felt if you prefer) and place a flower shape on top of each of them. Draw round the flower shapes with a pencil and cut them out carefully
using fabric scissors.

Trace your leaf template on to a piece of paper and cut it out. Place the leaf shape on top of your green felt and cut out, following the edges of the template.

Place your green felt leaf down on your work surface, then arrange your three flowers on top of it, with the smallest shape on top.

Pick out a cute button and place it on top of your arrangement.

Thread a needle and sew the button to your flower, looping your thread between the holes of the button and making sure you pierce through all of the layers.

After you’ve sewn through the button holes several times, tie your thread in a knot right at the back of your work and cut off the excess thread, close to the
knot.

Now, take your hairband. You’ll need to prop it up between two heavy books or two stable containers so that the top of the hairband is nice and secure.

Apply a few drops of glue to the back of your flower and stick it on to the hairband, wherever you think it will look prettiest. Add the other flowers if you’ve made more than
one.

Now take your pink rhinestones and carefully glue them along the rest of the hairband. You could even add some rhinestones to the petals of your flower, for extra sparkle.

Leave overnight for the glue to set.
