I know there are many people that make these flower hair accessories but I think the thing that sets me apart from the rest is that I use shirts, pajama pants, or night gowns as the majority of my material. I find these pieces of clothing at Thrift-Stores and Yard Sales. I love that I can make an ugly shirt(in my opinion) into a really pretty hair accessory and that the pieces that I make from them are unique because only so many can be made out of that piece of material and then there is no more.
Let me show you what exactly im talking about. This is one of the night gowns that I got at one of the local thrift stores and if I remember right it cost me $1. I really like the material and hoped that it would make a good pattern for a hair clip so I tried it out.
And here is how it turned out.
(the one on the right with the skull was also made from a night gown)
So I look forward to creating more unique pieces out of recycled clothing. And hopefully soon I will have enough to list on etsy.com.
Stay Tuned.
Love Nicolette
Those are way freakin cute Nicolette! I love that you use thrift clothes! And thats something other people will love too because upcycling is so "in" right now. Not that anyone should be eco friendly just because its popular, lol but there is a big market for that kind of stuff. And also like you said.. it makes pieces truly UNIQUE and one of a kind. :)
