*Ribbon Hair Clips*

I made these cute clips for my nieces this year. I made each one to their own style & age. SO easy to make especially for a last minute gift for someone you may have forgotten about or a cute stocking stuffer. Cheap supplies too!

Supplies: Ribbon (which I had in my house)// cardboard (hey recycle- get some cereal boxes!) // bobby pin or hair clip // buttons (I save loose ones) (glue and markers too!)

* I cut my ribbon pieces to how many petals I wanted on my designed flower and the size. (mine are a little more than an inch. Fold it so it curls slightly putting the front (depending if you have a design) so they have a point -- don't twist that's a different technique.

* I used my hot glue gun to join them. I picked a button to compliment or match my ribbon and glued each petal to the back.

* Once you have glued each petal glue it to a bobby pin or clip.

* I have cut pieces of cardboard and then personalized them by writing the names to whom I am gifting too and then put the hair accessory on it. :)

Do you have any traditions??

Hope you have any amazing Christmas!! I'll be back after Christmas and my birthday to have more diy and another guest recipe! Hey- New Years is still on it's way--- AND last minute gifts for those you forgot or were given an unexpected gift from.

I made some peppermint bark shared by Denise.
