Martha Stewart Weddings, January Winter 2002
Silk flowers never wilt or fade, which makes them a fitting memento of your wedding. Share them with your bridesmaids by making these pretty hair bands. Begin with a full-bodied silk flower, such as camellias, and attach a metal-free hair elastic with a twist of the flower's wire stem. Clip off any excess wire. Cover the wire by sewing a bit of 1-inch wide ribbon, ends folded under, to the base of the blossom using a few stitches.


Great post! Useful tips on Silk Flowers for Hair Bands and beautiful flowers pictures... Thanks for sharing! From http://www.mayweddingflowers.com/wedding-silk-flowers
instead of putting them on the hair ties I put them on metal barretts and added a little bit of glitter to make them sparkle
I really wish we could zoom in on the pictures? I'm not quite understanding the directions.
