Spring Hair Flowers

As I have mentioned before, I make hair flowers to go with outfits. I make them just because I can, and I find it therapeutic and relaxing, I'd imagine in much the same way fishing fly-tiers find the steady wrapping motion relaxing; it's very much the same except, you know, flowers 'n'at.

Anyway, I am taking custom orders right now, so please contact me (through this blog, through my Etsy store - link over there on the right sidebar, through Facebook, etc) and let me know what colors/flowers/style you want and I will do my best to accommodate. Right now, I have on hand:

- Ombre pink to white peonies
- Cream colored mums
- Pale yellow to pink dahlias
- Pale green orchids
- Dark pink orchids
- Yellow and pink petunias
- Pink petunias
- Orange magnolias with sparkly centers
- Orange daisies
- Orange marigolds
- Yellow marigolds
- Dark yellow mums
- Red daisies
- Dark pink hibiscus
- Small yellow daisies
- Blue daisy
- White daisy

Anything else I can probably get; just let me know what colors and flowers you want, or show me photos of the outfit you's like to match! Custom orders start at $15; I can get deluxe micro-suede flowers for a bit more.

Molly Starlite's Hair Flowers

I've been making pinup style hair flowers for almost a year now, and while I haven't been able to make a career of it, it's a fun hobby. I make hair flowers while waiting for videos to convert from DVD format to MP4; I make them while waiting for videos to export out of my film-making software; I make them while waiting for videos to upload to a web site or video streaming channel (there's a *lot* of waiting and babysitting while making videos, which is why they're so expensive).

Anyway, it's a fun, relaxing hobby that lets me be creative and make something beautiful. I list them on my Etsy store, give them as gifts, and sell them to people I run into. I take commissions and make custom flowers. It's a lot of fun, making something one-of-a-kind and unique to a person's tastes.

I used to make them by winding metal wire around the hair combs and flower stems, but I have started making them using a new thread wrapping technique that makes them lighter, safer, sturdier, and waaaaay prettier than most other methods I have found. There's no glue to get brittle and break, no wires to poke you, and nothing unsightly or bulky to interfere with wearing the flower. The flowers are light, can be inserted into any hairstyle, and this method allows the wearer to "pose" the flower just a little bit (not a lot, but some... so you could move a flower a little to cover a bobby pin, for instance).

Soon, I may start adding new features, like glitter and ornaments. Stay tuned!
