Quick and Easy Hair Ribbons!

Pin It

I have spent a lot of time out at the store looking for the 'perfect' hair ribbon or bow for my daughter. Sometimes, they just don't exist. I guess it just took me a little bit longer than the rest of the blogging world to discover I could make my own in just a few quick seconds. And with my large ribbon stash, I can quickly match just about any outfit in the closet in 5 minutes or less, (or right on the way out of the door!!)

First, just cut 8 strips of ribbon, about 1 1/2 inches long.

Fold them in half and secure with a dot of hot glue to create a loop.

Begin securing them together in a circular, 'flower,' shape using hot glue.

Cover your overlapping ribbons with a button, just to hide the seams and add a little pop of color.

To turn your ribbon flower into a hair barrette, just add an alligator clip to the back with hot glue, I use a ribbon to cover the glued side and keep everything nice and clean.

And that's it! (As if you didn't already know it was that easy!)

I think the ice-cream one is just perfect for summer, don't you? My daughter has deemed this one her new favorite, at least for now...

Check out these great parties where I will be linking this week! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Thursday!
