What The Craft!

Other than being a pseudo-wanderer, doing arts and crafts is also a thing that I want to do on my gap year. I've been using Pinterest a lot for inspiration. But I think the gods of arts and crafts hate me because I can't seem to have a decent outcome. Hahaha.

But then I thought of those adorable floral crowns that are a music festival staple. At my age, I don't think wearing a floral crown to work is appropriate so I decided to make a floral barrette instead, since I have old barrettes lying around the house and I like hair accessories as well.

Materials:

• Barrette
• Craft flowers of your preferred color -- I bought mine at a local store, SME. You can also get it at a cheaper price from Divisoria
• Beads (optional) -- I only used it as fillers to some areas that looked bare. I got mine from my Ate Richie's remaining bead stash
• Glue gun (optional)

Procedure:
Draft the placement of the flowers on the barrette. Once you're happy with your design, you can now start attaching the flowers using the glue gun. As for my barrette, I didn't use hot glue on it because the stem of the flowers is made out of wire so a few twists made it secure enough not to fall off.

Here is the finished product:

Flower Power, y'all!

YAY, I NOW HAVE SOMETHING TO CALL A TALENT. LOL.

Right now I'm working on a hair comb but I ran out of craft flowers. Will post a photo of it soon. :)
