More hair flowers

Layers of denim, sewn together with a button in the center

 more denim

 Zipper flower. I made two of these. I thought this one looked horrible while making it, but it turned out! Yes, you can see a lot of hot glue, but it is still wearable, I think.

 This is made from the same skirt I cut up to make a dress for Lydia. It is small but very feminine.

I made a bunch of these. They look really cute being worn. Made of felt. I don't know, synthetic felt always seems a little tacky to me...maybe it is the colors.

satin hair flower

 To go with Lydia's new dress I made a hair flower. I made two and put one on the belt of the dress. I did her hair in a waterfall braid, ending in a bun. I think it looked really pretty.

I didn't follow a tutorial, though I think I have seen one before. I just cut circles of fabric that was left from the skirt. Then I held the edges by a flame and they sealed and curled. Then I put some silver beads in the center.

Repurposed skirt to dress

 I have had this skirt forever. I really love it but I can't ever find anything to wear with it, or it doesn't feel like me. So, I was going to get rid of it but instead I decided to repurpose it. It is so frilly and girly I knew Lydia would love a dress out of it.
I basically just it down to fit around her. I left the length on it so I wouldn't have to hem all the layers. I made some sleeves and a little belt. It really is ridiculously simple, but I thought it looked so glamorous. She said, "I feel like a bride!"

Really the second picture is the only one that lets you see the dress, but I couldn't resist the other poses.
