As I've stated a few times before, I love making hair clips out of various items that weren't originally intended for hair clips. This time I totally scored at Dollar Tree!! I was walking through the aisles when I came across these gorgeous butterfly picks. I bought one in every color. The package on the far right are felt butterfly stickers, found in the scrapbooking section of some store (can't remember where).
For the butterfly picks, I used wire cutters to cut the metal pokes off the back. Then I lined some clips with ribbon and glued the butterflies on. They're gorgeous!!
My 5-year-old daughter loves the pink and purple ones together. What little girl doesn't? Especially when they have sparkly "jewels"!!
For the felt stickers, I stuck them down onto like-colored felt, trimmed around them, and glued them with a couple of dots of hot glue. Then I lined clips with ribbon and glued the felt stickers to the clips. For the four little flower stickers, I cut out a felt leaf and glued them to it in a bunch.
For just a few dollars and few minutes of my time, I was able to make the following clips, plus 5 others that went to my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter.
Now I need to make another hair clip holder. Theirs is entirely full. But a girl can never have too many hair accessories, can she?
How cute are those! Great idea! I'll have to see if I can find some of those
