Things required:
1. Select your choice of silk flowers:
First select the flowers you want to use in your floral accessories. You can buy loose flowers as well as use the flowers that are available in your home. If you are choosing the flowers that have a plastic stem, then snip the flower off from the stem with scissors or a sharp knife and take off the plastic piece that is available in the center of the silk flower.
2) Start beading the silk flower:
Place beads on the flower and fix it with the help of a needle and thread. When you are fixing the beads on the petals, ensure that your thread is of the same color as the petals. Otherwise it won’t match with the petals and can give an awful look. After threading the beads to the petals, make a knot at the end of the thread. Put another bead in the center of the flower and fix it with adhesive. Cut off the extra thread after the knot. You can put as many beads as you want but try to thread it nicely as it might get loose and come out from the petals.
3) Cover the center of the flower:
When you take the plastic piece from the center, it forms a hole in the flower. You can fix it with the help of adhesive and a gem stone. Apply adhesive dots and on that, place a button or gem stone and press it for sometime. Fix it nicely.
4) Place the silk flower on barrette:
Apply some dots on a metal or plastic barrette and fix beaded flowers on that. When you are placing the flowers, make sure to overlap the petals which will ensure to cover the top of the barrette.
