How to make a scrunchie hair clip

Materials to make the brooch

• First of all we will need fabric to make the pin. You can choose printed cotton, velvet or the fabric that you like best.
• Second, a French clasp style barrette about 8 inches long.
• Third, some thread and a needle.
• Fourth, hot glue and a tape measure.
• Fifth, some scissors and several pins.

Steps to make a scrunchie hair clip

The first thing will be to take the piece of fabric that you have chosen and with the help of scissors cut a strip that measures 30 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide.

Now fold the strip of fabric in half and sew a seam along it for about half a centimeter. You can do it either by machine or by hand, as you prefer. Remember to finish off the thread to be able to cut it.

The next step will be to take the French clasp style barrette and disassemble it into three parts to be able to place the fabric on it.

Next, take the outside of the pin and tuck it into the fabric with the seam facing down. Scrunch the entire fabric all the way to one end for the scrunchie effect. To make sure that the threads at the ends of the fabric do not show, you can make a XNUMX-centimeter fold inward.

The next step is to carefully put the various pieces of the pin back together. First the bow and then the clamp.

Now, put some hot silicone on the edges of the pin and this will glue the corners of the fabric.

Let it dry and… your hair clip is ready!

Steps to make a hair clip with clips and fabric

Suppose our hair clip measures 7×2 centimeters. To make the lining of the dart we will need to cut a piece of fabric that measures 9×4 centimeters.

Next, you will need to round the corners of the fabric in the shape of the dart.

The next step is to outline the shape of the dart on a piece of thin wadding with the help of a pencil. Then cut it out and use the resulting piece to cut the same piece out of the felt.

Then, you will have to baste the lining of the dart with a needle and thread with 0,5 centimeter stitches. When you finish all the outline of the fabric, place the padding and the fine batting on it and then the hair clip. Press and gather the fabric so that it fits as closely as possible to the dart and carefully sew the fabric over the dart to completely cover it except for the paw.

For the next step you will need to take the piece of felt you cut out earlier and place it back on the clothespin to see if there is any excess material. In this case you will have to use scissors to trim the excess. approximately 2 millimeters less than the caliper.

Next, in the part of the closure where the leg of the clip is located, make a small cut in the piece of felt with a pair of scissors so that the leg goes through it. Adjust the felt to the fabric and sew using a bit of thread and a needle.

And you would have your brand new hair clip ready! Try this craft, you will see how with a little patience you can make a wide variety of clips.

Steps to make a hair clip with clips and fabric

As a first step to carry out this craft, you will have to take the nail lacquer to color the metal clips in the color that you like the most. However, you can skip this step if you directly choose colored clips.

Next, you will have to shape the design that you are going to give to this children's clip using the foamy paste. In this case, we are going to make a model in the shape of a star lollipop. As with the clips, you can choose it white to paint it later by hand or you can directly choose an already pigmented paste.

Then, shape the star-shaped foamy paste with your fingers.

The next step will be to apply a little paint on one of the ends of the star so that the glitter that you will add later is well attached. The last step to decorate the star is to add the small beads in the shape of a star.

Finally, with a bit of hot silicone applied to the end of the clip we will glue the foamy star. And it would be finished!
