EASY FLORAL GATOR HAIR CLIPS FOR ANY OCCASION
These pretty hair clips were made for an amazing fun young grandmother and her two adorable and very energetic grand daughters!
What a fun project this is for anyone with a hot glue gun and a bit of patience.
1) You will need metal gator clips which I found in a package of five at the Dollar General store.
2) lightweight flowers of any kind, small roses, tropical, holiday ribbons, etc…
3) some leaves peeled from the stem, no plastic left on the leaf,
4) your hot glue gun (I use Gorilla glue gun and sticks) Supplies pictured below.
I open the gator clip and place something thin like wax paper(so the glue doesn't stick to the paper) then begin gluing your leaves flat across the top of your clip to cover it. Let the excess leaf hang over the edge of your clip. Next get your flowers ready: remove heads from stems or clip stems as close to flowers as possible. Some flower petals that are layered may need some extra gluing to hold the flower together. Do a quick layout over your clip to see how you want them to look. Now you can glue them in place with the main flowers along the top of the clip. Finish with extra leaves, filler flowers, stemmed shiny gems or baby’s breath. Here’s a tip, you can also glue a leaf or two inside the top of the clip to make it clean and neat.
