I am pretty sure the projects involving Ric Rac are endless!
I love it!
These flowers are perfect for women, teens, and kids.
It also doubles as a hair accessory and pin for clothes, bags, etc.
- Supplies -
Felt
1-2 yards 3/4″ Ric Rac
Needle and Thread
Hot Glue
Button
Snap Clip
First, cut out your felt into a circle.
It does not have to be a perfect circle.
I cut out my circles to be about 2 inches.
Now you will take your Ric Rac and wrap it around the outside. Take a stitch to each bottom loop. Just one stitch will do.
You will then keep wrapping and stitching the Ric Rac around until you get to the center.
Just take a few stitches to the center and tie it off in the back.
Here is a close up of the center.
Now that you are finished with the Ric Rac, you just add your embellishment.
I chose a button and I hot glued it onto the flower.
You can definitely stitch the button on, but I didn’t like how my stitching looked with that button.
Now we are going to add a snap clip to the back.
You will want to cut out another felt circle about the same size as the first felt circle.
Then cut a little hole at one end where you will stick your snap clip through.
Once you have your snap clip in, you can close it.
Put hot glue onto your Ric Rac flower back and attach the other felt circle with the top of the snap clip touching the back of the felt flower.
And you’re done!!
And of course, the combinations of colors are endless!

I tried this and came out very nice. Thanks for sharing!
I love this flower…and I agree….How come I dont have this ideas?????? hehehhe
I love hot glue! It makes things go so much faster. But like you said, it does give it a little different look. Still so so so cute! And we love reading your comments!
I have made so many of those! But I changed a couple of things. First, instead if sewing, I hot glue( mostly because I’m impatient)and I found out that when you do that it makes the flower flat,and on the back, lnstead of using a snap clip, i used a alligator clip. I hope you read this!
