Today’s project were a pair of Lollipop Ribbon Sculptures, inspired by this pin. For these you just need to roll 3/8″ ribbon to the desired length, using a bit of hot glue to secure the ends. I also applied a line of hot glue on the backside to keep the ribbon from potentially pushing out. Add it to the end of your covered hair clip, and apply a tiny 1/4″ ribbon bow!
Today’s project was a Heart Ribbon Sculpture, using this pin of a former Etsy listing for inspiration. For each heart you need two or three 6″ long 3/8″ ribbon. I chose to stitch the top center of the heart together, then used hot glue for joining the bottom pieces. Then you simply glue it onto your hair clip and optionally can add some embellishments!
Today’s project was a Firecracker Clippie, inspired by this pin of a former Etsy listing.
Supplies
Take the pipe cleaners and curve the top halves slightly. I also used my flat-nose pliers to fold in and flatted the edge because I’m paranoid that it might scratch someone. Take your 7/8″ ribbon and hot glue them into rolls, like below.
One at a time you should now apply hot glue to the bottom quarter of the pipe cleaners and attach them inside the rolls. I put four in one and five in the other. After this part is done attach your firecrackers to your covered hair clip and enjoy!
Today’s project was two critter hair clips: a Snail and a Ladybug. They were similar to create so it made sense to put them together!
Both clips require rolling ribbon for the bodies. To do this I grasped the ribbon in an uncovered alligator clip and wound a few tight rolls (see below), then carefully removed it and held it while winding the remainder.
The amount of ribbon you use for the rolls can vary depending on how large you want them.
Ladybug (inspiration)
For my ladybug’s body I used 5/8″ red w/ black dotted grosgrain ribbon. The roll was almost 3/4″ in diameter. The ladybug’s head used 3/8″ black grosgrain ribbon with a diameter of 1/2″.
I glued both of these onto a covered hair clip and then cut two 1 1/2″ long pipe cleaners, using round-nose pliers to curve the tops. These I glued in the dip between the head and body!
Snail (inspiration)
For the snail’s body I used 3/8″ polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon, rolled to 3/4″ diameter. For its bottom (feet?) I cut a 5 1/2″ length of the same colored ribbon, then assembled it as shown below from left to right. The pipe cleaners were the same length as the ladybug’s, and the snail got some googly eyes as well!
Today’s project was a Present Clippie. For this you need 1.5″ grosgrain ribbon (for the present), 1/4″ ribbon (for the ribbon wrapped around) and 1/8″ silk ribbon (for the tiny bow). The lengths of these will depend on how large you want to make the present, though I recommend about 2-3″ long for the 1.5″ ribbon.
Hot glue the ends of the 1.5″ ribbon, and lightly hot glue the open edges to seal them shut. Use 1/4″ ribbon to wrap around the present, hot gluing it shut (make sure it ends on the backside so the hot glue is not in plain sight!). Tie your other 1/8″ ribbon into a tiny bow and carefully hot glue it on the front side of the present.
Attach the present to your covered hair clip and you’re done! You could also use 2″ grosgrain ribbon for the present if you prefer something larger!
