Equipment

  • Hot glue gun
  • scissors

Ingredients

  • Baby headbands
  • Small hair clips I prefer French barrettes

Instructions

  • Gather your supplies.
  • Cut the elastics bands from the bows first so you get the whole bow separated. Cut as close as possible to the joints.
  • Then apply hot glue on the back of the hair clip and place it on the bottom of the bow.
  • Apply some pressure for a few seconds.
  • Glue a small strip of ribbon over the top piece of the hair clip that is glued to the ribbon to secure more and protect the hair.
  • That’s it!!! One cute Upcycled bow hair clip finished!
  • I made another one with a different kind of hair clip (Alligator clips). The same basic process to make it, the only difference was the type of hair clip itself.
  • Tadaaaaa… Can you imagine a craft easier than this???
