Here is another thing you can do for your cute little flower girls
A hair band decorated with stocking flowers
You will need–> Glue, pliers, scissor, thread@SWG 28 wires, Nylon flower stocking, hair band, pearl beads, 2 cylinders of different size ( I used a marker pen and and small lotion bottle) and gold wires.
You will also need dried green leaves. The leaves i used are from rubber trees. The Chlorophyll are removed and then the leaves are dyed green. You may also substitute these leaves with another type convenient to you.
First of all, we are going to make the 5 petals flower. You will need to loop a gold wire using a bigger cylinder ( here, lotion bottle).
Ensure that you loop the wire 5 times as we are making a 5 petals.
Secure the end with pliers by making a knot. When you tie the knot, all loops must be joined at a point. Make sure that no sharp end sticking out to prevent injury.

Next, open up the 5 loops and start to shape it according to the picture below.
Use the end of the plier to bend the wire at the center of every petals.
This is what it is suppose to look like. For first timers, you might not get a tidier result. You need to keep practice doing it!
After that, used a two tone stocking to wrap the wire. The nylon material should cover both front and back of the wire. It should fit snuggly but don’t overstretch or else you will tear the material.
Tie around the end of the nylon material and your shaped wire . Since there are 5 petals, you must tie each petals individually. Snip away the excess nylon material.

You have managed to make the center flower for the hair band
Part II is coming soon!
