DIY Hairbow Clips: What I’m Making Monday
Ever seen those adorable hair bow clippies? I found a cute shop on Etsy where their bows are all just $1. But before I went crazy I thought I’d try making some of my own and whatdoyaknow… It’s way easy!
What you’ll need:
Some ribbon that’s about 3/8in wide
Metal 2 prong clips
Hot glue
Scissors
Lighter (to defray/seal the ends of the ribbon)
Step 1: Glue ribbon around and inside the prong clip
Step 2: Cut a piece of ribbon about 2in long and glue the two ends together so it makes a circle.
Step 3: Glue the middle of that circle together by placing a dab of glue on one end then squeezing it together.
Step 4: Glue the pinched circle to the metal prong covered in ribbon.
Step 5: Cut a 1 inch piece of ribbon, wrap it around the pinched part of the bow and glue it to the top inside part of the clippie.
What do you think? I went crazy and made all sorts of Halloween ones that I forgot I made until Halloween night but oh well, there’s always next year.
Two people who comment on this post before next Monday (November 8th) will win a clippie of their choice. You can choose one of these, or I have lots of other colors of ribbon if you have another color in mind.

![A couple of days ago Jayda and I went to our first book tour event to see Rick Riordan, the author of our beloved Percy Jackson series on stage in Austin. We got to hear a little bit more about the Disney+ TV series coming in December, plus an announcement about two new Percy Jackson books. Which I know, know… I’ve been raving about these books for YEARS and yall are probably sick of it, but they’ve been so monumental in raising Jayda and we are over the moon excited to see an adaptation that in the words of Uncle Rick, “is [actually] good.” Jayda decided to channel her @leahsavajeffries (playing Annabeth Chase) and wear her hair in giant puff pigtails and she looked so adorable. Such a great night surrounded by so many people who share a love for the same story. It’s been inspiring to watch this story grow in popularity through the years and I have a feeling it’s about to reach a whole other level.
PS: I know I’m only a few months into being a parent of a teen, but so far? 👌🏾

Those are really cute! Stella needs to get a little more hair before she can wear them, but my big girls love pretty hair clips. I think I’ll make a few. Thanks for sharing!
Those are really cute!
Haha wow, I did the exact same thing as you!!I tried bows upon bows because my little girl has a lot of hair like Lil’ J but it is straight so they just slide out..! Until I saw those alligator clips covered with ribbon. They work SO well! So I thought.. I can make those! I do more of the plain ones and do the bows a bit different so I’ll have to try them out like yours.
Aww! I always wondered if it were easy to do. And it is! I will definitely have to try to make some for my baby girl!
Lil’ J is just too cute and rockin’ that clippie! 🙂
So cute! My 2 year old barely even has enough hair to hold a clippie, and look at that baby!
Love those!!! My little girl doesn’t have any hair to clip them in though:) Hopefully she’ll get some soon!!!
How adorable! I think I’ll try to make some…although Carly doesn’t have enough hair yet…good to be prepared though!

Oooh those are super cute! Now that I know how easy they are to make, I’ll have to try it myself!
These are so adorable and seem pretty easy to make.
My daughter has thick beautiful hair similar to your little one. I can’t wait to start making these adorable bows.
Thanks!
I love making hair clips too, they are addicting! I tried linking a fabric flower tut. that I thought you might like, but for some reason it showed up twice. Sorry about that.
My goodness, what an adorable picture of your daughter!! I love how she’s holding her hands, so precious. And the clippies are super cute too!

These are adorable. I followed your tutorial for the flower headbands and they turned out awesome. Can’t wait to try this too.

Lil J looks adorable with her bow!
It’s so cute! Where did you find the metal clips?
I just love the little alligator clip style hairs because unlike the scrunchy kind or those other bows you don’t have to worry about them getting stuck in their hair. I made Moo some Hello Kitty and flower ones.
I’m really excited to make these myself but I can’t find those metal prong clips. Where did you get yours?
Cute Hair bows!! I am trying to make them for my little girl. Saves me money.
Sorry I found the metal clips from Sally’s! It’s just a few dollars for 100!
these are so cute my baby girl doesnt have much hair yet but I am definitely going to make some to put on little head bands that i knit.
