Lately we've been noticing hair clips popping up everywhere. We're loving it! In fact, back in the olden days one our very first DIY posts was how to make a hair bow. We love that clips can be edgy, cutesy or add a pop of color- depending on your outfit and your mood! Here are four ideas for simple clips you can create at home.
Cut out a strip of leather that is 1 inch by 4 inches long. Place the leather on the wrong side of your fabric and cut your fabric an inch bigger than the leather on each side (so there is enough fabric to wrap around the leather). Put a line of Tacky Glue around the edge of the fabric and fold the edges towards the middle of the leather, wrapping the leather with the fabric (kind of like a present). Once the glue on your wrapped leather has set, use more Tacky Glue to attach it to your barrette base.
For this barrette, fold the prongs of the studs until they are folded all the way under and the stud can sit flat on a table. Put a dot of Tacky Glue on your barrette base and place the stud on top. Continue this all the way down your barrette until the barrette is covered.
Using crystal trim (found in the ribbon and trim department at a craft store), cut two strands of the trim long enough to cover your barrette base. Put two lines of Tacky Glue down the length of the barrette base and place the two rows of the crystal trim on top.
To make a tiny fabric hair bow follow our oldschool DIY. Bows are amazing because you can make them in any size with nearly any textile. Fun!
Happy Monday. xoxo. Elsie

I love these!! And wow the model is gorgeous and has the best blonde hair!!!
These are so cute! I’ve been keeping my hair up in a top knot for the past month since the humidity has taken over. I’ve been wrapping scrap lace around and tying it in a bow-but these are much cuter!
Very cute!

I used to make hair clips all the time when I was younger, but they were big 80’s style hair clips made from shoelaces. I remember making them all the time with my mom. I’ll definitely be trying some of these!
this is really cute. the studded one is nice!

This post takes me back to elementary school DIYs! I made so many hair clips with huge bows that I clipped to ponytails that sat precariously on the top of my head. Recently I was out and took a picture of a girl’s hair, specifically her bow, so that I could recreate it later. Don’t worry, I was totally stalker-like sneaky about it. She had no idea. 😉
this is really fun and easy way to accessorize 🙂
Love the striped bow tie clip 🙂
the bow is my favorite! lovely post x

This reminds me of when I was a kid in the 80’s! My mom made us bows and scrunchies! We had every color! This is a grown up version.
I love this idea…really on trend DIY!!
