Shamrock DIY Hair Clips

You will need:

• 1 piece of soft green crafting felt
• Green sewing thread
• Sewing needle
• 2 Hair Clips (you can use alligator, snap, claw, or duckbill)
• Hot glue gun
• A pair of scissors

Directions:

Step 1: Cut 8 rectangular pieces from the green crafting felt that measure 4cm x 3cm. These rectangles will be the leaves of the shamrocks. In this project, we will be creating two shamrock hair clips, with each clip having four leaves.

Step 2: Cut a curvy M-shape on the topmost part of the rectangles. Make sure that the rectangles are oriented in a portrait position before performing this process. Do these for all of the 8 green rectangles.

Step 3: Double thread the sewing needle with green sewing thread.

Step 4: Sew a running stitch on the opposite side of the curvy part of the rectangle. Link four rectangles together using the running stitch.

Step 5:  Carefully pull the thread to tighten the spaces on the green felt and create a  center in between the leaves of the shamrock.

Keep pulling the thread to create a denser base for the shamrock leaves.

Step 7: Finally, create the final pull and make a loop to close in the center of the shamrock leaves. There should be no space in the middle.

Step 9:  Generously glue the hair clip of your choice to the middle of the shamrock body. 

All set! Now wear your DIY shamrock hair bow for a bit of Irish luck on St. Paddy’s Day.
