How To Make Mini Velcro Hairclips - A Tutorial

You will need:

• glue gun
• elastic thread, or regular sewing thread will do if you don't have it.
• 3/8" grosgrain ribbon
• scissors
• lighter or such to melt ribbon ends
• velcro
• cardboard or something to protect your table from the glue gun

To make the little clips, cut a 2 1/4" piece of ribbon (or two for a set), singe the ends to keep them from fraying, and fold it in half. 

Cut your velcro down to fit on the ribbon (about 3/4" long), stick on your self adhesive velcro, or use a hot glue gun to secure it if it's not sticky on one side.

Now to make the bow, loop one side over towards you, 

and then loop it back over top and cut off the end about even with the tip sticking out underneath.

Pinch your bow between your thumb and forefinger, as above, and wrap the elastic thread around it, pulling it tight and tie a knot. 

Then cut a 1" piece of ribbon to go around your bow. Attach with glue on the wrong side of the bow, wrap around and glue again.

Now all that's left is to attach your bow to your little clip! Hot glue and press on gently.

Pretty easy, right?

All I did for presentation for the gift was cut a piece of card stock with two parallel lines 1/2" apart down the middle and clip them on. Gift complete!
