    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

    shamrock hair clip craft materials

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

    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.
