Easy hair flower clips

These cute hair flower clips are adorable for your own hair or your girls hair. They are a great baby shower gift idea as well.

Things you will need:
-flower of your choice
-hot glue gun
-glue sticks
-rhinestones (optional)
-ribbon (white or any color you choose)
-scissors
-medal hair clips(you can get them at craft stores or any professional hair salon)
1. Remove back of flower (just pull/pry it off).

2. disassemble the entire flower.
3. if using the center piece that the flower came with, cut off the stem portion so it is flat with the rest of the center piece.
4. wrap your medal clip with ribbon by first gluing the ribbon onto the flat part of clip.
5. wrap/fold ribbon into or over the clip to sloped side (don't glue in center).
6. Glue slope and press ribbon onto glue.
7. glue both sides of the long portion (try avoiding the center hole as best you can).
8. press ribbon onto glued portion.
9. cut the ribbon so there is just enough to fit on the under portion of the clip.
10. glue the length of ribbon onto the under portion of the clip.
11. press ribbon onto glued portion and remove any glue that may have escaped! (:
12. Glue top of ribbon portion of clip.
13. place the first flower layer centered over the glued portion of clip and press together.
14. repeat layers centering each layer with the center holes each time.
15. glue center piece on and your done!
If you don't like the center the flower came with, I find that rhinestones go really cute with them as well!

Depending on the flowers that your purchase, the layers may very. I find that if you get the flower bunch from the dollar store, the flowers look better if you put 2-3 of the flowers together to make a full layered flower clip. Otherwise, the flowers from Michaels, JoAnns, Roberts, etc. may only need one! (: Good luck and I hope the directions on here help you.
