Bobby Pin Flowers


I am forever looking for something to tie up my hair when I get in the kitchen. To remedy this I made some cute bobby pin flowers and planted them in miniature flowers pots.   I set them on the ledge to my homemade recipe holder, so that when I get into the kitchen my bobby pins are handy.


Took a plain bobby pin and hot glued a flower bud  had on hand.  Did the same with several bobby pins.


Repeated the same, hot glue to another flower.


Took a tiney terra cotta planter, filled it with moss and a couple of leaves and planted my bobby pins.


A full pot of the white flowers.


A full pot of the red flowers.


And here they are sitting pretty on the shelf of my homemade magnetic recipe holder.

  17. What a cute idea!! Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I wanted to let you know the paint color I used was Gray Pearl from Lowes its a Martha Stewart color, they don't have her line anymore but if you ask them they still have her formulas, I used satin finish.
