DIY clay hair clip
Make a clay hair clip



I started by taking a piece of white modeling, oven-baked clay and rolling it out so that it would be long enough for the clip. I then took this gorgeous rose pink clay and dotted it onto the white clay to give it a spotty effect. I adore how easy it is to be creative in this project! You can choose any colors or patterns of clay you like, and get creating! 

Roll it out


I then smoothed out my clays using a rolling pin.

Measure


To measure, I pushed the front of the clip into the clay. I could have easily used a ruler for this step as well. 

Cut the clay


I then used my scissors to cut out the shape of the clip. 

Bake the clay


Once all my pieces were cut out, I baked them in the oven. I followed the instructions on the clay packaging to make sure the pieces would come out just right! 

Glue the clips


I put glue onto my clips and stuck my baked clay straight onto the hair clips.

Add beads
Make a beaded hair clip



For this, gorgeous beaded design I used these glass, pink beads. Pearls would also look really amazing for this clip style but you can choose any beads you like. I started by adding a small blob of glue onto the hair clip. I then took one of my beads and gently stuck it on. I repeated this until the whole clip was covered.

Measure the fabric

To get started on this next, super cute design, I placed the top of my clip, face down on the fabric, and cut around it adding a little extra length. This design is so great because you can choose any fabric you want! 

Add glue


I added glue to the front of my clip including the small open section under the top of the clip. I then stuck on the fabric and folded the extra fabric onto the undersection of the clip.
