Hi! Welcome to Craftster Quickies where we show you fast, easy and great looking projects you can do in a matter of minutes. My name is Pam, and today I'll be showing you how to make flower hair clips that turn your hair don't, into a hair do.
The materials you will need are, brads. You can find simple blank brads at your local craft store in the jewelry making section. Fake flowers, I found these at a wholesale floral supply store, but you can find them at a Craft Store or at the Dollar Store. Hot glue gunning glue sticks, these can be found at craft stores or hardware stores. Industrial Strength Glue, it may sound a little scary, but it' very easy to use, and you can use it for variety of projects. It's a little runny at first, but once it dries up, it holds great. If you wants something little fancier, you can add charms, butterflies or birds to the design. I got most of these through swapping on Craftster.org, but you can find them just about anywhere. Craft sores, fabric stores and toy stores are great places to look.
The first thing you want to do, is turn on your hot glue gun. While that's heating up, take the flower from the stem and cut the back off. Don't cut it off too much, otherwise the petals will fall off. Take your blank brad and attach it your plastic or wood ruler. The reason you're doing this is, we're going to use a lot of industrial strength glue, and you don't want the brad stick glue in together.
Now take your glue and glue your flower to the brad, just use a little dab. Next, take your industrial strength glue and put a little bit on your toothpick and add it to the rim of the flower. Let your flower sit for at least 24 hours so it completely dries. So there you have it, a quick and easy technique for making flower hair clips that go great with any outfit, and also make awesome gifts for friends.
