Hair clips

After having my little monkey, who was born with a head full of hair. I decided that I would have to either buy or make hair clips for her. So that lead me on the quest to find the perfect hair clips. After making many others clips for friends, I finally got around to making some for Sophie.   Here are some of my creations. I was fortunate to find these wonderful website which provided the instructions on how to make them. So due credit goes to...Girly Things Bows and also Hip Girl Boutique

I will be posting at a latter date, some of these clips being modeled and also instructions how to make a few other styles.

Easter


Sophie is modeling the easter bunny in her hair. I was able to keep it in her hair with a strip of a hot glue gun on the inside of the clip. And the best secreat of all, I used a clear elastic to ensure she couldn't pull it out.

Christmas
My husband acutulley made this one for family home evening one night.

This penguin can be altered and made into a yellow chicken instead for easter.

Pretty Hair clips for Spring

For this flower clip. I just went to Micheals Craft store and purchased a gerber. Removed the stem and center piece. Due to laziness, I just hot glued each layer of the flower back together. And glued rhinestones to the front. I then lined a alligator clip (How to line an alligator clip).  How you can wear the flower is endless!! You can clip it to a cloth headband, directly in your hair, or clip into on a beanie cap. I will be posting at a later day how to make crocheted beanie caps for these type of flowers. I am just perfecting the process.

Spring Bug Collection
I can find the original website that I used for making this clip. But I will find it soon and post it!! Or provide additional instructions at a latter point if someone want to learn


Dragon Flie's
Lady Bugs

I found the instructions for both of these clips at Hip Girl Clips. This website does request that you join but it is free and I haven't had any issues with solicitating since joining them a year ago.
