I may or may not have clipped one to my husband's hair. A few times. He said it makes him feel very prettyGender shouldn't be a a barrier to pretty hair things!

Keiris, I think I figured out how to make these flowers into necklaces and other jewelry if you'd prefer that! I'm out of beads right now but the next batch should include some interesting stuff for mermen!
Awesome Lily. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I think the flower pins in my hair would be a bit over the top for me.
ZOMG that finished hairclip is GORGEOUS! that foliage and the pearl strings accent the flower so wellI fell in love with the anime version of The Little Mermaid when I was a kid and always wanted one of her hair pins:
Recently I learned how to make cloth flowers, so I made these yesterday!
The first, simple one is on a lobster clip, though I'm thinking of using an actual hair pin like in the movie in the future, as they're more versatile. The second one, with the plants and netting, is on a French barrett clip. The flowers are around 3" (8cm) across. The center pearls are the same color on both of them but for some reason got washed out by lighting in the second pic. Everything is swim-safe, from the fabric to the plants to the glue, though I haven't tested them in prolonged chlorine exposure yet.
I want to eventually offer different sizes of flower and let you pick your pearl and fabric color, and maybe learn to make different types of flowers.
So... thoughts? I'm thinking the simple ones would be $12-15 and the more ornate ones $20-25.

Yay! I'm so glad you like them! Please give me as much feedback as you'd like - being my first sale and all, I'd love to hear what you like and what could be improved.
Honestly I don't really have anything much to say about improving anything. I guess if I had to suggestion something, I would say include some bubble wrap for a little extra security since I've see some horrible things postal people have done with packages but other than that I'd say everything is perfect and I love it all so much. I love that you also included care instructions as well.Yay! I'm so glad you like them!

OH! And if you find any pearls that is more pinker like the top half of this image, I'd totally go for that version as well.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I sent you a PM on Etsy
@SIN: What do you think of "Conch"? Is that the kind of pink you had in mind?
Already itching to get more pearls and make more pins, necklaces, maybe earrings with smaller flowers... THERE ARE TOO MANY COLORS I CAN'T DECIDE SOMEBODY HELP!
Hrmmmm....Conch is nice but I think I'm thinking of something more 'hot pink' in color.
Omg i love all the colors!!!@SIN: What do you think of "Conch"? Is that the kind of pink you had in mind?

These are water safe right? Did I already ask that?

Yes, they're water safe! I've tested everything in fresh water and it's all fine, but I haven't done extensive testing in chlorine yet. The pearls for sure are chlorine safe - I accidentally ran one through the washer with bleach!
I'm about to start making another batch, with 1" and 2" flowers in addition to the 3", and the first earrings and necklaces as well. Maybe even a headdress. Any color requests?
Like this one, maybe?
It's the brightest pink I could find!
