Supplies:

Noteworthy Embellishment Jars by Making Memories
Orange Rhinestone Embellishments by Kaisercraft
Scor-Tape 1/4" x 27 yards Double-sided Adhesive by Scor-Pal
Metal Hair Clips

Instructions:

1. Place a small square of Scor-Tape on the back of the hair clip.

2. Cover the top side of the clip with Scor-Tape.
3. Adhere ribbon to clip, starting at the back, over the clasp, and onto the top. Don't cut the ribbon yet!

4. Place a strip of Scor-Tape on the inside of clip, on the reverse side of the top. Estimate the length of ribbon needed, cut, then adhere.
5. Add embellishments as desired.

Jessica notes: So I am new to this whole having-a-daughter thing, but one thing I've already realized is that bows are expensive! With just a few cute ribbons and embellishments, you can whip some up really quickly for your own daughter or as a gift for a new baby, etc.

I originally covered all sides of the clip with ribbon, but realized that it made the inside of the clip a bit too bulky for my daughter's baby hair. Also, if necessary, you can add a thin strip of non-slip grippy kitchen sheets to the inside of the clips to help them stay firmly in fine hair.

* Scor-Tape is essential to the success and ease of this project! It is much easier to use than a liquid adhesive and holds really well. I can't recommend it enough!
