St. Patrick's Day Hair Clip (tutorial)

This is one super easy peasy hair clip! All you need is 3/8 inch grosgrain ribbon and a clip to glue it on. I added a  dime size "sparkley" in the middle to dress it up (available at Wally in the kids craft section). Note: I use a wood burning tool to cut/heat seal my ribbon ends. If you don't have one use a lighter/candle/campfire to heat seal the ends of your ribbon.

Cut and heat seal 4 four inch pieces of ribbon and 1 three inch piece.

 Fold each piece in half and put a dot of hot glue in the crease.

 Repeat on all four inch pieces

 Next, pull the sides down to make a heart shape. Glue the two ends together.

 Repeat...

 Line up two hearts and glue them together by slightly overlapping the very ends.

 Repeat...

 Here is I added Littlest's "sparkley." Just glued it right on top and then glued the stem onto the back.

 My stem was looking too long so trimmed it a bit- say hello to my wood burning tool :)

 Whalla! Four leaf clover!

All it needs is a clip and you are good to go! I use lined double prong alligator clips, but you can use whatever you have available.

Reminiscing today. I found its a good thing to do every now and again, how else would I reconcile the fact that this mug:

  is any way related to this one:

Or how about these:

I miss my red hair and being skinny.

Mostly the skinny.

To the boy, my oldest, my mini-me; Please stop growing- you are making me look old.

Probably I should go red again, maybe that would help.
