Have any of you tried to make a hair clip with a crochet motif or a little flower? I’ve made them many times. It is easy to make a little flower. It is also easy to find snap clips. But for me personally it wasn’t always easy to connect the two in a neat and pretty way, and at the same time to keep the hair clip from falling apart.

To tell you the truth, I’ve never searched internet to get ideas, I used to sew a piece of fabric to a snap clip, and then sew a flower onto that fabric. I’ve also tried to glue the flower onto the clip, but it always comes apart very soon. I came up with an idea of making tiny snap clip “hats”. Only now that I’m writing this, I am wondering if someone somewhere invented something similar already.. Hm… Oh well… Maybe I’ve re-invented a bicycle, but at least I’ve taken a thousand of step-by-step pictures :)
