More Organza Pouf Flowers...

I made some more organza flower poufs. I'm trying to stock up for my next show, Hearts & Crafts Indie Market on February 6th. I'm debating whether they'll be better as hair accessories or brooches. And then if I do them as hair accessories, what kind of clip do I use?

I'm still experimenting with scorching and the number of layers. I think 8-6 layers is the best for a larger flower. Scorching is tricky, but it's necessary so the edges don't fray.




This red & gold one is my least favorite. It's only 4 layers, which just isn't working for me...plus the scorching went a little wonky.

This smallest flower is only 2 layers. But I'm liking it. It needed a little something extra, so I sewed some seed beads in the center. I'm thinking of calling it a "pixie pouf" and may attach them to bobby pins.

They are really cute. I dont know how big they are, but my vote would be as a pin or brooch. But thats just me....
I have puffy hair, so hair things can be tough for me. :)
