Hair Clippies

I used to make hair clippies and flower clips for my little girl ALL THE TIME, but somehow got caught up in this new little bundle that's on it's way and I have been making stuff for him. Totally neglecting my other kids. After my cute friend Madyln  started making them for her girls, I decided to take it up again and make "Big Sister" feel special. ( Plus I get to use them too!)

My dear husband got invited to the midnight showing of Iron Man so he went to bed when the kids did leaving me with a few hours to have all to myself. Sounds like a craft op!

(This is pretty much all you need for these )

-Hot Glue
-Scissors
-Embellishment for the center of the clippie
-Ribbon ( I like 3/8" ribbon for the perfect flowers but you can use whatever you want really)
-Alligator Clips (You can find them in bulk at Sally's if you plan on making alot or you can online)


♥Cut the ribbon to the size that you want and them hot glue it so it looks like this

♥Step 2: Glue the centers of the insides together

♥Step 3: Now make 3 of these and glue them together staggering each other simulating a flower

♥Step 4: Now glue ribbon to cover the alligator clip. I like to also glue a little section from a drawer liner to help keep the clip from slipping our of the hair. Sounds weird right? But it works like a charm!


♥Last: Glue an embellishement in the middle to finish it off! Here is some of the ones that I've made!

(The lighting sucks I know!)
