Felt Flower Hairclips

Two hairclips for a certain little Madam today.

…… so that I could make a matching pair of clips, alas, there wasn’t, so a return journey to the shop had to be made.

I was in two minds as to whether or not to add a button or two to the centre of the flower, but in the end decided that they added a little something else, no less is more approach as far as Iris’s coiffure in concerned!!
