Quick Clips

June 6, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 26 Comments

This afternoon I have been busy making hair clips. I made them using scrapbooking brads and plain hair clips.

To make them, you need to put the brad through the hole of the clip and use pliars to squeeze it down. Then add a bit of glue to secure it in place. You can also put ribbon on the front to cover up the metal clip. I then designed and printed a cardboard sheet to attach pairs of clips to.

I got my insparation from  Magnolias and Sunshine   and   Grace Violet .  This is a great project to do in a small amount of time. I am going to give them to my little cousin and other little girls I know.

    What a great idea! These would be so fun to do for a craft at a girl’s birthday party. Then the girls can take them home (instead of the usual party bags). They are really cute. Your friends will LOVE them 🙂

    Just be careful if you sell them that your packaging says ‘not suitable for children under 3’ because the brad could pose a choking hazard.
