How-To: A Tutorial on How to Make Felt Flower Plumeria Bobby Pins

I know it's Winter, but I keep dreaming about Summer and an island vacation. Here is a tutorial on how to make a plumeria flower bobby pin out of felt!
 

Skill Level: Medium. You need to know very basic sewing.

You will need:
  
  1. scissors
  2. white felt (I prefer to use wool or wool blend, it just looks and feels nicer than polyester)
  3. two bobby pins
  4. needle
  5. thread
  6. light pink powdered blush
  7. dark or hot pink powdered blush
  8. yellow or gold powdered eyeshadow (If you are a super fancy artist, you can use your artist powdered pigments instead)
  9. a small and large eyeshadow brush
  10. hairspray
  11. industrial adhesive (I use E-6000. I love this stuff, it is really strong, you don't have to worry about your flowers falling off. Hot glue can also probably be used, but I think the flowers might fall off since it is not that strong.)
  12. Newspaper or scrap paper
These are all things you probably have just laying around the house!

Let's make a plumeria blossom!
