DIY Felt Bow Hair Clip

I meant to add my handmade hair clips to the Collar Dress Up shop on Etsy, but I never really got around to it.  I think it may be the fact I have been finding less time to make it to the post office, so I didn't want to add any more items that would require me to go.  However,  it can be a very easy DIY, so I thought I'd share it with everyone!

Materials Needed:

1. Fabric of choice (I used felt in this tutorial)
2. Needle and Thread
3. French barrette hair clip
4. Scissors
5. Ruler

Directions:

Step One: Cut three strips of fabric.  First measuring 6 inches by 1 inch.  Second measuring 4 inches by 1 inch. Third measuring 2 inches by 0.5 inch (not pictured, but I used the white felt for this one as well).

Step Two: Take the first strip of fabric and stitch both ends to the center. 

Step Three: Now stitch the middle to "pinch" the center.  This creates the bow.

Step Four: Stitch the bow to the center of the second strip of fabric.

Step Five: Trim the center and ends of the second strip.  I cut a triangle out of each end.

Step Six: Take the third strip of fabric and wrap it around the center of the bow with the top of the barrette.  Stitch the ends together.

Step Seven: Turn the side of the stitching to face under the barrette (you don't want to see the handiwork). DUNZO!
