Blue Cornflower Barrette

Description

This flower measures a little less than 3" in diameter. The barrette is a little more than 2" long.

I began making these flower hair clips because, personally, I wanted flowers for my hair that had the look and feel of real flowers.

I use silk or faux-silk flowers. Most of the time, depending on how the flower is put together, I take apart the flower, removing all or most of the plastic before reassembling it and attaching it to a hair clip or bobby pins. This tends to give the flower a more realistic appearance. It also keeps the flower lying more flat against the hair. Sometimes, flower hair clips tend to stick out too far for my taste. Often I will make a more natural looking center for the flower as well, unless the one provided really adds to the overall look.

If you are interested in more than one of any style, please feel free to contact me. It is possible I might have multiples of certain flowers.

Due to the handmade nature of the flowers and due to differences in monitor calibration, there may be slight variations in the size and in the color of flowers viewed compared with flowers shipped. If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
