How To Make A Loopy Flower Hair Clip - A Tutorial

How To Make A Loopy Flower Hair Clip - A Tutorial


The first step is to gather your materials. You need a ribbon covered alligator clip. There's a great tutorial on how to do this and make it no slip at Make It Love It.

You'll need 4 pieces of ribbon 4.75" and 4 pieces 5.5" as well as a 6" piece of green and a small piece of white for the center knot.




Take one of your strips and glue the two ends together, forming a circle.




Then twist it to form a figure eight, and glue the center to hold it. Do this with all nine pieces of ribbon.




Now you have this:



Now glue the green piece of ribbon (the leaves) to the alligator clip. Center it over the clip.


Now we'll form the flowers. Layer the four matching figure eights onto each other one at a time. It's best to do this first without glue to figure out the spacing. Do this for the both the top and bottom layers of the flower.


Once you've done this, glue the bottom layer of the flower onto the leaves.


Add the top layer and a knot and you're done!
