So I have a friend that is fantastic at making bows and I've been tempted to get into it myself, especially since learning we have a new little girl on the way. I saw on Pinterest where someone had made felt four leaf clover garland and I thought I could just do one at a time and glue to a bow - ta da!Here's the steps, and it took less than 30 minutes to make 2 of these.
1. cut about 1 1/2 inch square clover pieces out of felt
2. Double pinch at the bottom of each clover and insert thread.
3. Thread through all four clover leafs and then connect to the first.
4. Pull the thread tight and then secure it by sewing through the back several times.
5. Attach a button or other embellishment to the front.
6. I bought the premade barretts from Michaels. I was planning to buy the ribbon and the plain metal barretts, but couldn't find them and although this was a little expensive $2.99 for 4 barrets with the ribbon already on, I figured one less step for my new craft idea. In any case. I spread liquid stich on the barrett.
7. Then firmly attach the the clover to the barrett.
Yay! You're done! Super cute!
Super Cute Amanda!
