lets talk hair clips. the very first tutorial i did was last year right about this time, about hair clips...and it wasn't very good :o)
let's see if i can redeem myself here.
here's a tutorial for my favorite kind of easy hair clips made with scrap booking brads.
here are some scrap booking brads. you've seen them. they have the two pointy ends that you can poke through paper and secure by opening the the ends.
here are some hair clips. i got these at target.
there are two kinds of flowers i like to use:
scrap booking flowers
(got these from Joann's)
(got these from Joann's)
&
the flowers that you can buy in the bunches.
did you know you can just give these little beauties a tug and they pop right off?!
stack your flowers on top of each other.
take your brad
and just push it right through the holes in the middle of the flowers.
turn your flower over and open up the ends to secure the brad.
now isn't that cute and wasn't that easy?!
for these goody clips i cute a piece of ribbon 3 3/8 inches long.
put some fabric glue
put some fabric glue
i like this kind.
(got it at Joann's....yes i keep them in business)
slide the ribbon glue side up into the clip.
close the clip.
place the ribbon glue side down onto the top of the clip.
pull it around...
all the way to the back of the clip.
hot clue your flower to the clip.
these are so much fun to make and very addicting. warning to husbands: if you see your wife reading this post immediately unplug her computer. she will stay up to midnight making these and will neglect the laundry, the house, the children, and maybe even you!
these make great gifts. lucy and i make these for her friends birthdays. we make these little holders by taking two pieces of card stock, gluing them together, and cutting vertical slits into the card stock with an exacto knife.
want these little sweethearts? it's gonna cost you a comment :o) just leave a comment to let me know you're in. trey and lucy will pick a winner on saturday.
stay tuned because next i am going to show you how to make these little cuties.
