Hello! I am Rita from Suburbsmama.
I am very excited to be guest-posting today for Danielle on Blissful and Domestic.
Today I am going to show you how to make felt flower shoe clips:

Here are the supplies you need
2 sheets of felt (different colors)
Glue gun
Scissors
Shoe clips (I get mine from this shop at ETSY)

First start of by cutting your felt in half and then in fourths:

Then cut a large circle out of the quarter of felt.
You will need 2 circles of each color:

Then cut your circles into spirals like this:

Dab your glue and start rolling up the felt like so:

Keep adding your glue and rolling:


Until you are finished with your flower
(now go do that to the other 3 flowers)

Next you need 4 leaves in each color:

Glue the 2 flowers together:


Glue the leaves to the back of the flowers:

Your flowers should look like this now:

Then put some glue on the back:

And glue your shoe clip:

Then cut a thin piece of felt that will fit across the back, like this :


And glue it to the back :


That's it!
Now go clip them on your favorite pumps:


You can also clip them to the side:


Or if you don't wear pumps, They look great on wedges:


If you are more of a flip flop person, They look great on them to!


Or you can put them on itty bitty little girl shoes:

Have fun Crafting!
