Purchasing hair clips in the store can get expensive, especially if your little one is prone to losing them. Buy materials in bulk to inexpensively make and have hair clips for any occasion.  

**![Melanie East - DSC_0529\[1\]](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/Jewelry/Melanie%20East%20-%20DSC_0529%5B1%5D.jpg?width=725&height=421&name=Melanie%20East%20-%20DSC_0529%5B1%5D.jpg)**

**Made by:** Melanie East

**Time:** 15 minutes

**Level:** Quick and Easy

**![Melanie East - DSC_0524\[1\]](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/Jewelry/Melanie%20East%20-%20DSC_0524%5B1%5D.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=Melanie%20East%20-%20DSC_0524%5B1%5D.jpg)**

**Here's what you need:**

- [Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/diy-hardware/1003-2?plpver=1002)
- Alligator-style hair clip
- Scissors
- Small clay or felt shapes

**Here's what you do:**

Cut a small rectangle from the Advanced Strength sheet. It should be large enough to cover the top of  
 the clip.

Remove one side of the liner.

Adhere the exposed side to the top of the clip. Press firmly.

Remove the other side of the liner.

Cut away any excess that extends over the hair clip.

Firmly press the clay shapes over the Advanced Strength sheet.

 This specific project uses clay shapes. These may be purchased at some craft stores or can be made at home. Shapes from other materials will work as well - the possibilities are endless, so get creative and show your unique style.
