How to Line a Snap Clip
Snap clips make awesome hair accessories. They come in a ton of sizes – starting with my specialty, the baby snap clip. These babies measure only 1 1/4 inches in length, and if you find the right ones, a 3/8th inch ribbon just covers the clip in width. These make awesome clips for infants and newborns because the will hold in just baby fuzz. The bigger sizes are great for toddlers and I even wear the larger ones to pull my bangs back at least 4 days a week.
What you’ll need:
Snap clip (these instructions will be for a baby snap clip)
3/8 inch ribbon (bigger clips will require wider ribbon)
hot glue gun
embellishment
Instructions for lining a snap clip:
1. For a baby snap clip, you will need to cut 2 3/4″ length of your 3/8″ ribbon.
2. Open your snap clip and place ribbon in between the clasp.
3. Close clip, ensuring that ribbon is straight.
4. Use your hot glue to cover the top of the snap clip – leave a little room for your fingers to hold the clip! **Be careful not to use TOO much glue, or it will squish out the sides
5. Fold the ribbon over and smooth the ribbon over the clip.
6. Glue the back of the ribbon that will be folded over the back of the clip **Again – not too much glue!
7. Fold the ribbon over the back of the clip.
8. Embellish with anything!
Baby snap clips are so fun and easy to make. They don’t require many supplies and can be done in a flash. I may be known to make a quick clip for my baby girl just before walking out the door so she has something to match the outfit she is wearing!
