I always wanted to make Shabby Chic Flower hair clip or hair accessories, but I really don't have how to make them. I saw a lot of them on Etsy, but I am more Crafty Person (Can you tell??). So I decided to make my own, I google search how to make fabric flowers, I got some basic ideas how to make fabric flowers, and I came up my own version of
Shabby Chic Flower with my Sizzix Flower Die (Sizzix Original Die - Flower Layers #5). Actually I didn't really like this die, I was thinking to sell it on Craigslist or ebay. But I am glad that I didn't. Because this die makes perfect Shabby Chic Flower.

Shabby Chic Flower Hair Clip |
I bought some Lace Fabric at JoAnn, you can find a lot of lace fabrics at Bridal-inspired fabric section. And I used Vintage Button for the center. I got these vintage buttons years ago, I think they are from 70s, there is some scratches on it, but it added a special touch. Also, I bought a yard of "Pearl Lace" Ribbon for the top of the clip.

The picture above you can see the "Pearl Lace" Ribbon better. I really love this ribbon. It looks very pretty, it is perfect for bridal stuff.

Back of the Shabby Chic Flower Hair Clip |
After I made this hair clip, I made another bigger shabby chic flower, but it is too big for hair clip, so I made it as a Ponytail Holder. I bought a Ponytail Holder base, so it secured the back better. I bought a bunch of them, if anyone interested, please let me know, I will list on Etsy, so you can purchase.

Two Tiers Shabby Chic Flower Ponytail Holder |
The big Shabby Chic Flower Ponytail Holder is two tiers. I used the softer Ivory Lace Fabric for the bottom tier. I really love how soft it feels and I like how it looks with two different texture of laces together. Of course, I decorated with vintage button. I just love vintage buttons, they add special look and feel on the finished products.

You can see that I used the plastic back for holding the elastic band. |
I like the plastic back, it makes my ponytail holder look more professional and neat.
