Whether you want it as stocking stuffer or a small gift or favour, a lovely hair clip in a little girl's hair is always an 'oh-ahh'!!

All you need is 15 minutes and a lot of imagination...and a messy craft room! (if you are anything like me...)

How to make quick and easy hair clips (pretty)for little girls:
For the glitter foam clips:
- Trace the outline of the top section of the hair clip on a piece of paper and cut it out (template);
- Use your template to trace the outline onto the back of the foam (usually the sticky side) and cut it out;
- Remove the sticky paper and press the foam onto your hair clip.
- If you want you can add a dash of glue before you stick it on
- Add embellishments
Other hair clips:
Put your hot glue gun on to warm up in the meantime.
Decide what you want the end result to look like - do you want it:
- a certain colour
- themed - maybe with owls or flowers?
- girly-girly
- different styles
- very plain
- over the top
- you have the playground - go for it!
The fun start here...
You can slide some lace through the clip and make a bow on top. Secure with a drop of glue from you glue gun;
Layer some elements like a small crochet flower with a satin bow on top;
Use embroidery floss to attach a button to a layer;
You can do pretty much anything to spruce up the plain hair clips, just ensure that you add a dash of glue to all the layers.
Super easy and I bet you have all the necessities in your craft room!
