Hello! I’m Vivian and I’m excited to be a new contributor to See Kate Sew! I blog about my life and family at vivileen.blogspot.com.  My husband and I are expecting a baby boy in February and could not be more excited.  I love fashion, and my twin sister and I also have a fashion blog together. You can find us at suzandviv.blogspot.com.

9 hair clip

Today I’ll be sharing a fabric covered hair clips tutorial.  I’ve seen a lot of cute hair clips floating around Pinterest, and tried (unsuccessfully) to make glitter covered clips in the past.  After my glitter hair clip attempt I thought it would be easier, and hopefully look nicer, to cover clips in fabric instead. I love the way they turned out.  I think they would make a great small Christmas gift, or dress up your holiday outfits.

Materials:
–clasp barrettes
-fabric scraps
-scissors
-hot glue gun
-quilting batting scrap (for clips made with thin fabric)

DIY fabric covered hair clips

*If using thick fabric (like pleather or velvet) skip to Step 3

Step 1: Cut a scrap of quilting batting about a half inch larger than the hair clip on all sides and hot glue the top of the clip onto the batting.

Step 2: Trim batting so it meets up with the edges of the clip top.

Step 3:  Place fabric right side down and hair clip on top of the fabric, clip side up.

Step 4: Cut fabric about half an inch bigger than the clip on all sides.

Step 5: Hot glue along one long side of the clip and press the fabric around the clip onto the glue.

Step 6: Make sure the fabric is pulled tight and hot glue the second long side of the clip.  Trim excess fabric if there is any.

Step 7: Glue the corners down to make the fabric on the ends into a triangle, fold the ends over and glue and you’re done!

    These are delightful! I’m not a huge fan of hair clips, but if they look like this, I can definitely get behind them!
