How to Make Flower Hair Clips

If you like to wear accessories in your hair you should consider making some flower hair clips. They are fairly easy to make and you can add your own special touch to each one such as adding rhinestones in the center of the flower.

Making your own flower hair clips would be a great way for you to inexpensively design one for all of your outfits. 

1. Purchase some imitation flowers from your local arts and crafts store. You will need at least 3 for every hair clip you are going to make.


2. Remove the stems from the flowers and pull out the plastic stamen in the center of the flowers. The only part of the flowers you will need are the petals. 


3. Place the petals on top of each other to make the flower thicker.


4. Put a craft brad through the hole in the center of the flower. The brad is used to hold the flower together. There are a variety of decorative brads to choose from such as imitation gemstones. Choose one that will complement the flower you have chosen.


5. Use a hot glue gun and apply a layer of glue on top of the top of an alligator clip and spread a piece of decorative ribbon on top of the glue.


6. Place a dab of hot glue on the back of the flowers and place them on the ribbon you just applied to the clip.


7. Firmly hold the flowers in place for approximately 30 seconds.


8. Allow the glue to dry at least 30 minutes before wearing.
