Hair Clips

What do you get when you combine a creative aunt, four nieces, ribbons and hair? The cutest hair clips, of course! Aunt Verna came for a visit and brought her hair clip craft box. With an 18 year old daughter (too old and cool for hair clips) and four sons, Verna had to come all the way to Sandpoint to get some girly crafts done. My girls were in heaven. They are simple and easy. Here's how: You will need need:

• Glue gun
• Metal hair clips (she got hers at Sally Beauty Supply)

• Ribbon (width of hair clips)
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Flowers (Verna used scrapbooking flowers)
• Brads (also scrapbooking supplies)

Here's how you do it: Figure out your color scheme, ribbon and flower choice -

Measure and cut 6 3/4" length of ribbon (length may vary with hair clip) -

Tuck one end of the ribbon inside of the clip - Run a bead of glue over the top of the clip and wrap the ribbon around -

Turn clip over. Run another bead of glue along other side and wrap again - Open up clip. Run a bead of glue along the inside and fold last free piece of ribbon onto the glue -

Voila - the clip is now covered. Put a bead of glue on top and attach flower -

Wait a minute till it dries and... Beautiful!
