Depending on the size of your clip, measure out the amount of ribbon you’ll need to cover both the inside and outside of the clip. For the clips I used, I needed just under 7 inches…
Now, go grab your glue gun, and let’s get started!
I use the hot setting on my glue gun. The lower temperature glue won’t work well, so make sure it’s hot…
Begin by gluing the ribbon to the lower inside portion of the clip. Pinch the clip open while gluing, and be careful to keep the ribbon straight!
Then, add some more glue to the back of the ribbon, and wrap it around to the bottom side of the clip. Make a nice crease at the point of the clip.
Add some hot glue on the inside of the clasp, and glue ribbon.
Then, add hot glue to the remaining amount of ribbon. Pinch clasp, and wrap all the way around and under. Again, make a nice crease at the point.
It should look a little something like this…
The flower:
First… remove flower from stem, then remove all plastic parts from the front, back, and check between the petals, too…
Now… add a smidge or little circle of hot glue in between each layer of petals, to glue the layers of flower petals together…
Once the glue has dried, glue on a pretty jewel or button to the center…
Now, go grab your clip, and add some hot glue onto the top of the clip…
Now, attach the bottom of the flower to the glue on the top of the clip…
Have fun experimenting with different colors, layering flower petal colors, and jazzing them up with pretty jewels and funky buttons…
You can also vary the size of the flowers! And… don’t forget ~ these are interchangeable, so you can attach different flowers to different headbands…
