Petal Party


While blog hopping one day, I came across such a fun idea. A petal party! What you do is have everyone bring one bouquet of silk flowers and an embellishment for the center. Then you just switch and trade and make a bunch of flower clips! So I decided to have a petal party. I invited some girls from my new ward and sent out cute little invitations. The only bad part was I had planned it on the last day of school and didn't realize it until the invitations were all done. So most of them couldn't make it. But tons have said they want to do. So in the near future I will do it again. We had tons of fun and one of the girls stayed until 2:30 and we just talked and talked. It was such a fun way to get to know some people. Anyway, I made like 17 clips. Now I love to wear them in my hair, or add them to a bag. It is seriously so fun!
This yellow and pink one is so pretty, but I haven't found anything to wear it with yet. but I will, oh yes, I will!!
I think this orange one is my all-time favorite! It is so fun and bright, I love it!! I have even worn it a few times already!

At girls camp I got a cute hat and put a different flower in it each day. The girls all loved the flowers so now we are doing flower clips for our laurel activity this week! Check out the sparkles. One of the girls I invited that couldn't come gave us some stuff to use. This glittery stuff was called sickles. and it was soo fun! So I had to go out and get some!

How cute! I am always looking for ways to brighten up my hair. Especially on those days I just feel like it's blah. I might have to steal you idea cause it sounds like a good way to make friends in our new ward in Texas.

You are so creative! Thank you again for all your tips on how to make these cute flowers. We had a Beehive activity "Flower Power" using all your great ideas. It was a hit! Keep those cute ideas coming!
