The Valerie Clip

This clip is named after my sister because this was her most favorite clip I made her before she left. In fact she wore it to her farewell. And it's quickly become my favorite too. It's bold and it's large. It makes a big statement. And that's what I love.

First you will need to make yourself a Lace And Zipper Flower. Just don't add the hair clip to the back. And then come back here for the rest.

Then you are going to need some stain ribbon. Using hot glue start to twist the ribbon and roll it in a circle.

Go around and around until you have a circle that is 2.5 inches wide. 

Then glue on a circle piece of felt underneath. 

Or you can start with the circle piece of felt. 

Take the end of the satin ribbon and pinch it. 

Then glue it to the center of the felt circle. 

Then twist the ribbon. 

Start gluing it down. And make a snail by going around and around and around. 

As Nemo says, "Just keep going...just keep going." 

Until you have finished. 

Ansd then slighlty tuck the end of the ribbon underneath and glue it to the felt with hot glue. 

Then you need to do the same thing only with lace this time. Use lace trim that isn't gathered on one side.  

You want this one to be the same size about 2.5 inches. 

And then flip it over and glue the edge of the lace down. 

Then hot glue a pearl into the center of the lace flower. 

Then pile them up ontop of each other, slightly overlapping each flower. 

Once you get it just how you like hot glue them in place. The back will look like this. 

Then hot glue a hair clip onto the back. 

And you have yourself a statement piece. The Valerie Clip. 

Isn't it just stunning? 

Clip it in your hair! And no one is going to miss it. Trust me. It looks so cute in a messy curly updo. My plain jane pony tail doesn't do it any justice! 

It really doesn't. The colors are so much fun! 

If your bold and brave you can even where it on a headband. 

Sometimes it's fun to get a little wild and wear something you don't normally. I didn't think I would like it up front on a head band. But I do! It's beautiful! Let me know if you give it a try!!! And I certainly hope you aren't tired of all of these hair goodies lately!
