Hairclip / Brooch DIY

 

 

 

 

Hello to another fantastically easy DIY.  What you look at is a  hairclip that can be used as a brooch too. At first glance, it may appear ridiculous to have them both at the back and I thought that too. I believed that the brooch pin is going to get tangled in my hair, but surprisingly, it doesn't.

Don't you think it's great having 2 in 1? If you do, gather your supplies and let's make it.

 

Supplies:

1. a crocodile hairclip

2. a brooch pin

3. tulle / satin rosettes and crochet flowers (instructions given below)

4. beads

5. a felt piece

6. glue, sewing thread

 

 

 

To make the tulle and satin rosettes use this tutorial

To crochet the flowers follow this pattern

 

 

 

 

 

1. Take a strip of felt and glue it over the top of the clip to cover it lengthwise.

2. Cut out a round piece of felt and cover the upper part of the clip. Mark where the clip ends and cut it again to make a half moon shape - in my case it was way to bigger so I cut it out to the size I thought would be best for it.

3. Remember to slid it under the lower part of the clip.

4. Pin the two sides together (or not) and prepare to sew them. 

 

 

Using a sewing thread, I sewed the felt cover with the blanket stitch. And on the lower part sew the brooch pin.

Design the look of your new hairclip / brooch. Sew or glue the crochet flowers and the rosettes.

 

 



 

 Add beads for extra glam.

And that's it. Hope you like it!
