By erinloechnerHow to Make a Christmas Tree Hair Bow Clip
A homemade Christmas-themed hair clip makes a great gift, and it can also be used to decorate Christmas cards and holiday albums. A little bit of ribbon along with a glue gun can make for a fun craft project and a unique, personalized decoration or accessory!
[edit] Steps
- Cut six pieces of 3/8" (9.5mm) grosgrain ribbon: Two pieces that are 2.75" (7cm), two pieces that are 2.5" (6.35cm), and two pieces that are 2" (5cm).

- Fold and glue ribbons as shown.

- Glue longest loops on ribbon lined single prong alligator clip. Click here to view how to line alligator clips.

- Glue 2.5" loops as shown.

- Glue 2" loops as shown.

- Make a knot (same as tying shoes).



- Adjust so the 2 loops are even.

- Pull the ends so the loops are small enough for the tree top.

- Cut the ends of the gold ribbon so the bow top covers about 3/4" of the tree.

- Glue bow top to the tree.

- Clip it onto hair.
