How to make a kanzashi (folded fabric) flower pin

Step 11 Add embellishment to center

Then put something cute on the center front to disguise the hole. Get creative! Buttons, old clip-on earrings with the backs removed, appliqués and felt shapes are some ideas to get you started. Anything you can hot glue or sew on will do nicely.

I was thinking about making stamen. I bought these long silver pins with blunt points that are supposed to be used for jewelry making. Then I threaded a pearly bead, followed by a clear earring back. The wire bends easily enough, so for attachment, I was planning to poke the pin into the fabric, make a loop, and add a few stitches.
