How to make a kanzashi (folded fabric) flower pin

Step 10Tie off thread and glue center

Tie off thread and glue center
This flower took 7 small and 7 large petals. You can use as many as you like. When you have enough petals strung together, just tie off your thread. I like to make a glob of hot glue and dab it into the center of the back, this gives the flower more stability and it will keep its shape. Then on top of this glob, I place my pin back or hair clip.

*Tip- Yes, there will be a hole. It is ok. This allows your flower to be more circular and regular-looking. We deal with the hole in this manner: Fill with hot-glue blob, cover pretty side with a button, large sequin, felt flower, bottle cap, knocked-out tooth, picture of your dog, a penny, a ribbon rosette, anything. And put your pin back/hair clip into the back of the glue blob, thus anchoring it securely and safely in the gentle caress of the hot-glue.
