How to Make Raggy Hair Clips

It is common for people to look for alternative items to place in their hair to showcase their style and also help to hold their hair out of their way. One option for doing this is by using raggy hair clips. Many people will choose to make their own raggy hair clips because it allows them to show their creative side.

Items Needed

• Small amount of fabric


• Scissors suitable for cutting fabric


• Hot glue gun


• Glue sticks


• Needle


• Thread that blends in with your fabric choice

1. Choose your fabric. When choosing the fabric that you would like to use for your hair clip, make sure that you choose a lightweight fabric. Many people choose to go with a cotton material because it is strong enough to work with but also sturdy. You can use up to eight different designs for your clip.


2. Cut eight squares out of the fabric that you have chosen. Each square should measure approximately four inches. Some people also choose to use a  pair of decorative scissors to give the raggy hair clip more personality.


3. Place the squares into a stack with the squares staggered. When you lay the first square down, you will then place the second square on top of it, but turned slightly so the squares do not line up. Continue with this pattern until all eight squares are in a stack.


4. Stitch the squares together with a needle and thread. You will first make several stitches with the thread in the middle of the squares. Make sure that you end with the thread on top of all eight squares.


5. Fold the top square and stitch each side together to form a V with the fabric. You will then continue this pattern with all eight squares of fabric.


6. Glue the stack of fabric squares onto your barrette or clip of your choice using a hot glue gun. Once you have glued the fabric onto the clip, it is important that you allow at least 24 hours for the glue to dry before you wear your new creation. Once you have made a few of these clips, you should feel more comfortable making them and then you will be able to really let your creativity come through.
