Miss_Bella_Hell said:In my humble opinion, it's totally crazy not to make your own hair flowers. Just go to a craft store and get a glue gun and some flowers and the hair clip of your choice. I find that glueing a leaf to the clip then the flowers to the leaf works very well. I also find that using glitter gel glue to embellish adds a nice touch.
BegintheBeguine said:Yes, the first item arrived a month after the event and I ordered a month ahead of time. I loved the item so I ordered again and had to track down the order after I got charged and nothing arrived, apologies and a free hairclip. I don't like bugging people but I'd still order again from her, hoped I'd see her in Las Vegas last January but she dropped out of the vendors.
Just placed an order with the Etsy seller. I really am lazy and tend to mess up craft projects. Also, I've never been able to find nice looking flowers to start with.

BegintheBeguine said:I thought it had been lost in the mail or more likely stolen out of my mailbox. Turns out the order had been charged and the clerk or whoever put the order form in the mailed pile instead of the to mail pile. Was supposed to get a rebate on the shipping but got the freebie instead, a golden pointsettia. My order was several items, I like to buy stuff all at once. Still, I will order again when there's another sale. As a disorganized person I can kind of understand.
I'll let everyone know on the Etsy stuff when it arrives, if anyone's interested. (Thanks for that link, Honey Doll.)

BegintheBeguine said:Now, from reading some suggestions, I just might be inspired to actually visit a retail store (a chore I hate!) to look at some silk flowers and a glue gun and try making my own. If I can tailor an overcoat in a week I should be able to make a hairclip: my crafts always turned out messy but I admit I'd never tried this one. Think Jo-Ann's has the supplies? Or Michaels?
