(Wow! That's big!)

All you need it:

Fabric (just slightly wider then the width you want the final flower piece to be)
Button making kit (can get from any sewing store or even at WalMart)
Needle
Thread
Hot glue
Prelined alligator clip (go here to see my tutorial on that!)

Step 1:

Cut (6) circles the same size. Cut the circles in the same diameter size that you want your final hair piece to be.

Step 2:

Fold each circle in half, then in half again. Cut the end so it is rounded. Do this for all (6) circles.

Step 3:

Stack (2) of your circles on top of each other.

Fold the other (4) circles in half, then stack, overlapping as shown above.

Step 5:

Using needle and thread, sew all layers together.

Step 6:

Use the same or contrasting fabric to make your button following the button making directions that come with the kit. Hot glue this to your flower.

Step 7:

Using a small piece of fabric, hot glue a circle of fabric to the underneath side of your flower.

Hot glue your prelined alligator clip to the underneath side of the clip and ENJOY!
