I'm in love with hair clips for my Lillian. Her hair is just long enough to start accessorizing, so I decided to make some. Don't they look yummy enough to eat!

Here's what you need:

1.75" Alligator Hair Clip

3/8" Ribbon

Hot Glue Gun

Embroidery Floss

Size D Crochet Hook

Felt

Fabric Adhesive

Sew-On Gem

Nylon Thread

Covering the clip with ribbon:

Follow these instructions for covering the alligator clip with the ribbon.

Rnd 2) Ch 1, for petals, (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) in each ch sp around. Join with sl st in 1st sc while changing colors if desired.

Sew on gem with nylon thread

Applying the flower to the clip:

Cut a half dollor size piece of felt and use fabric glue to fix this piece to the back of the flower, hiding all the knots and loose ends.

Use the fabric glue to fix the flower onto the ribbon-covered hair clip.
