I have two girls who go from long hair to short hair and who have a “love-hate“ relationship with hair clips. They manage to lose their hair clips and hair bands daily, so for a while I have given up on buying them. For this series I decided to surprise them and make for them these easy hair clips that they can easily mimic and also improvise to make their own. So here you go – DIY Curly Hearts Hair Clips.
Valentines Heart Hair Accessories – Materials needed:
- Colourful construction paper
- Decorative ribbon
- Double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Plain Hair Clips of your choice
- Pencil
How to make a Heart Hair Clip for Valentiness Day
1. Prepare all your materials and keep them together – that’s very important for a crafting process.
2. Trace a heart shape on a folded piece of paper – for each clip you will need 2 identical hearts.
3. Cut out your hearts and prepare several strips of ribbon which you can curl with a pencil or dull side of scissors blade. Mine was already curled because the ribbon was in a roll.
4. Stick double-sided tape on one heart. Tear the white part off.
5. Stick the edges of the ribbon to the bottom of the heart. Tape over few more pieces of double-sided tape to cover the ribbon and the rest of the paper.
6. Stick the second heart over.
7. Measure a small piece of contact paper and stick double-sided paper over. This is what will hold your heart and the clip together.
8. Tear off the white part and stick the paper to the upper part of the clip.
9. Tape your heart over – voilà, you have your clip!
I have tried it on my own hair just to show it off to you. It is pretty cute, isn’t it?
I am anticipating our house to be filled with these clips once the girls wake up! These clips are an excellent project for holidays or a rainy day. And they would make lovely low budget gifts.
Would your girl like these hair clips? Let me know!
