Baby Hairclip DIY

A DIY for a simple felt hair clip :)
You will need: plain clips, felt or any scraps of fabric, scissors, pins and a glue gun.
Cut your flower shape and pin together, this I think is the most fun bit! Heres a few I had 
a go with. Not all girls like flowers, hearts and bows, you could do animals or camera's or 
anything! I'm making Molly an easter bunny to go in her basket next!
Here's a paper example of how to make the coral flower, it's not very clear but I wanted to
do a quick one on photobooth while Molly has a short nap. Blogging and babies ha!
(ignore the dots I was trying to make it more complicated than it needed to be)
Basically make loads of petals attaching to each other spiraling inward, when you
get to the middle stop cutting and wind it into a flower, glue in place. Pretty easy huh :)
I added a small peach heart to go in the middle because I'm obsessed with peaches and 
corals at the moment! To fix it onto the hair clip just glue gun a little onto the end and 
hold the base of the flower in place. Just need Molly to grow a little more hair now I've
made her lots of pretty clips! 

The sweetest little model (L)
