Spring Hair Clips

Is your little cutie in need of some super-cute Spring Hair Clips??  Check out these tutorials on How to Make Spring Hair Clips! {Oh-So-Cute!}

Go here for instructions on How to Make Pretty Flower Hair Clips

Now… for the lavender bows ~ I’ve got a brand new step-by-step tutorial for you!

They’re seriously cute, so thrifty, and easy to make!  {triple yay!}

What You’ll Need:

  • Grosgrain ribbon {3/8″}
  • Alligator Clip {like this one}
  • 5/8″ Smooth Ribbon
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Pretty doo-dads for embellishing! šŸ˜‰

What You’ll Do:

Glue 3/8″ ribbon to alligator clip, so you’ve got a cute little clippie to use as the base. {go here for step-by-step instructions}…

Cut 3 pieces of 5/8″ ribbon into these sizes: one 5 1/2″ long, one 4″ long, and one 1 1/2″ long

Glue the two longer pieces into two separate loops, like this…

Glue the larger loop onto the top of the clippie, just like this…

Place a small dot of glue on the inside center piece of the loop, then press the top down, so it will look like this…

Now grab your smaller loop, and glue that on top of the clip {with just a small dot of glue in the center}, just like this…

Just like we did above… now place a small dot of glue near the inner base of the loop, and gently press the top down, like this…

Now grab your little flat piece.   This we’ll glue right around the center, with both ends hiding underneath the top of the clip.  Start like this… then just wrap it tightly around, and glue the other side where the ends meet {on the inside of the clip}…

It’s getting CUTE!!!

Now go grab a pretty doo-dad {because doo-dads are pretty!}…

I found a set of four lil’ doo-dads for around $2 at Jo-Ann’s {near the ribbon}.  Now, go glue your pretty little embellishment to the top middle piece of the bow…

All done ~ wasn’t that easy??  Now… go make some pretty little clippies and bows of your own! šŸ˜‰

These might make pretty little Easter accessories… or fun Easter basket surprises!!

    Great ideas. I’ve been doing some on my own, but having the measurements simplifies things.

      Hi Terry ~ here’s a tutorial on how to make flower flip flops… you can attach the flower using hot glue or even sewing it on.

      Hi Melissa ~ I found them at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and Jo-Ann. I’d suggest checking your local craft store for some fun doo-dads to glue onto the clips. Hope that helps! šŸ˜‰

    Here’s a way to make the clips non-slip! In the isle with the contact paper, they have a rubber type that you can use in your drawers. (It looks like little circles all joined together.) Cut that 2 circles wide, and 8 circles long. Attach that to the top part of your clip, and now they won’t slip out!! ENJOY!!

      I have to look for that. My girls had fine hair and I had trouble keeping the barrettes in their hair.

    so cute….how do you keep the ends from fraying?

      Hi Maxine, to prevent ribbon ends from fraying… you can quickly run a lighter flame along the ends. {just be careful} šŸ˜‰

    You can also glue fake flowers to these clips (as above) and clip them on headbands or crocheted beanies. Great way to get an expensive looking hair decoration on the cheap that you can change with every outfit.

      i went to sallys and they don’t have them clips. They have ones that are simular but instead of the solid metal they have no middle to them were you glue. almost looks like to small clips put together, if you can picture that. do you know where else i can buy them in bulk for a good price.

          Great to know that Hobby Lobby stocks these clips. If I have a choice of places that carry the item I am looking for, I always choose the one with a 50% off coupon.
