How to Make No-Slip Hair Clips
More and more moms are starting businesses out of their homes. One of the most popular business types is to create hair bows and hair clips for little girls. Most parents struggle to find hair clips that do not slip or slide out of their daughter's hair. If you can create these no-slip hair clips, you are likely to be successful in your business.
Things You Will Need:
- Hair clips (choose different sizes)
- Decorations such as ribbons, buttons or flowers
- Rubber drawer liner
- Hot glue or double-sided tape
- Think of your customer when deciding which type of clip to use. If you are making clips for a baby, you will want to use a smaller clip, such as a single prong salon clip. If you are making hair clips for an older child, a snap-in french clip will do the trick. Determine what clip you will use for your project and set it on the table in front of you.
- Decorate your hair clip. You can choose to use either a hot glue gun or double-sided tape to decorate the clip to your liking. Consider decorating it using buttons, ribbon, flowers or beads. Attach the decorations securely so that they do not pose a choking hazard to a baby or child. Be sure to decorate only the top of your clip. Leave the bottom empty.
- Attach your no-slip grip. You will use rubber drawer liner to transform your hair clip into a no-slip hair clip. Roll the drawer liner flat onto the table in front of you and lay your hair clip on top. Use a pencil to mark the size of your clip onto the drawer liner and cut the liner as needed. Attach the drawer liner to the inside of the clip using hot glue or double-sided tape.
- Allow your clip adequate time to dry. You should allow at least 24 hours for your adhesive to dry before wearing the clip or selling it to a customer.
