St. Patrick's Day Hair Clip

This is one of my projects this week to make with my daughter (she is 8).  I think these are so cute and I think we could make this very easily and cheap. We did this for Christmas and she loved it.  You can really use flowers or anything to make a pretty hair clip.  There is no need to buy those expensive ones at the store.   I will put a picture of the one we made for Christmas on here too.  I hope you try them!!!




St. Patrick's Day Clover Fascinator

This cute green clover fascinator is the perfect way to show your St. Patrick's Day spirit.
Materials
·    Clover fascinator templates
·    Green felt (2 different shades)
·    Green ribbon (any shade)
·    Green feathers (any shade/type)
·    Sequins or jewels
·    Jewelry accessory -- clip, barrette, headband, head ribbon, comb
·    Hot glue or craft glue
Instructions
1.     Choose two clover templates (one large clover and one small clover). Trace the large clover on one shade of green felt. Trace the small clover on a different shade of green felt. Cut out the clovers.
2.     Glue the small clover on top of the large clover, offsetting the leaves of the small clover from the large clover.
3.     Trim two feathers to the appropriate size and glue them to the back of the large clover.
4.     Cut the green ribbon into two 4-inch pieces. Loop each piece and glue the ends together.
5.     Glue the ribbon loops to the back of the large clover, off to the side of the feathers.
6.     Cut a 1-inch circle of felt and glue it to the back of the large clover, hiding the ends of the feathers and the ribbon.
7.     Decorate your clovers with sequins, jewels or glitter.
8.     Glue the back of the fascinator to a jewelry accessory -- a clip, barrette, headband, head ribbon, or comb. Allow the glue to dry before you place it in the hair.
