Tutorial: Felt origami butterflies

When I first saw these, I honestly thought they were little candy treats—they’re that cute! These origami butterfly hair clips are a delightful and easy project to make using craft felt. Jessica from Cutesy Crafts has shared a fantastic tutorial that walks you through the steps of creating these adorable clips. The butterflies are small, charming, and add the perfect touch of whimsy to any hairstyle, whether you’re making them for a special occasion or just for everyday fun.

To make these clips, you’ll need high-quality felt, as it gives the butterflies a crisp and professional finish. The best part? Each butterfly uses only a small piece of felt, measuring just 2.5″ x 3.5″. This makes it a fantastic project to help use up your smaller scraps of felt, making sure none of your materials go to waste. Plus, you can mix and match colors to create a whole collection of butterflies in different shades to suit any outfit or occasion.

Whether you’re crafting for yourself, a friend, or a little one, these origami butterfly hair clips make a lovely addition to any hair accessory collection. With Jessica’s step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to create a beautiful batch in no time. They’re a great way to add a personalized touch to any outfit, and they make fantastic gifts for birthdays, holidays, or just because!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
