Flowers in Your Hair

So ladies, I looooove the whole flower in the hair style, but I'm having a hard time finding flowers...where the heck do you guys get 'em? online?

I've seen the scrunchy type, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I might just have to go to Michaels and start making my own hmm.. (that may actually be a good idea). Let me know!

Michael's may be your best bet b/c at least they'll be unique and original! I found some recently at Forever 21...they were attached to bobby pins. Is that the kind you're looking for?

Yeah I found some at Claires, thats all I wore when I did the BC. But I like the idea of going to Michaels and making your own. Has anyone ever tried to make their own scarves? I wear a lot but I never tried to make my own. Maybe this can be a new hobby of mine.

@ StacyB: I've never made my own scarf, but I have made my own accessories. It's pretty easy. If you go to a store like Michael's, look around for loose flowers that have fallen off the stem, but are still in good condition. I was able to get about 10 flowers for free that way. I also found a lot of small, silk and paper-like flowers on clearance.

There's another thread about hair accessories that has a ton of suggestions on places to buy them. I'll see if I can find it and post the link.

Happy shopping!

Are the ones from Michaels coming with pins already attached to them?

I see them all of the time, but there are usually plenty at Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, and on Etsy just to name a few....

@CurlyNikki: No, they don't have anything attached to them. You'd have to attach them to a comb or a double prong (or single prong) clip. Or, if the flower has a stem that is in good shape, you could just stick the flower itself in your hair.

i buy my hair accessories from a local tattoo shop. i know that doesn't really help you guys but yeah... the michael's idea sounds great though! i may start doing that. here's a pic of one of my favorite flower pieces from this past summer.

I often make my own stuff from Michaels (same as travel junkie) but I also get ideas at craft shows where they also have tons you can purchase.

@traveljunkie how did you get the flowers on the ponytail holders? Did you remove the stem and hot glue? Please share.

@labon10: The flowers I used for the ponytail holders were some type of craft flowers. I don't have the package anymore so I don't remember exactly what they were called, but you find them in the scrapbooking/craft section of Michaels. You can probably do it with the flowers with the stem too, but I haven't done that.

Anyway, you wrap a small piece of ribbon around the ponytail holder, and seal the ends with hot glue. Then you glue the flower to the ribbon. I took a pic of the back of it so you can see:

This is what it looks like on (a pic from my transitioning days):

Hope that helps!

Thank you!

Michaels/Hobby Lobby, here I come. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hobby Lobby has the hair clips on sale 50% this week. It's on!!

Autunm of Curly Chronicles has a flower clip tutorial (link below) that I followed, and it helped me make some accessories for myself. The only difference it that I used Gem Tac to adhere my flowers to the clips. I found it works much better than a hot glue gun. I buy my flowers from the Dollar Tree.

I buy a lot of hair accessories at H&M. It has a fantastic selection for really cheap.

I purchase mine at the dollar tree. The best time is during the fall because they have lots of colors : )

Claire''s has a lot of cute flowers for hair with a pin atached. They have little ones and big ones. I also saw some at Forever 21

You can also find them at any korean hair store. I've seen some beautiful ones in there. They have the ones with the clips and also with the scrungie on it.

Someone already might have said it but etsy has tons of hair accessories. some of them can be a little pricey but they look sooooo nice....I spent an hour one day just drooling....

I've been getting some nice ones on Etsy.com. They are handmade and I like that it's unique

Wow! My bad..I pretty much asked a question and went MIA hahaha...thanks ladies!!! Yay for May flowers

I just made some awesome hair clips today. One even doubles as a brooch. If you take at some DIY sites, and blogs like stilldottie.blogspot.com, you can find some great guides.
