Hair Bow Hanger for the Red, White, and Blue

I decided the girls need a hanger for their Red, White, and Blue clips.  As I searched threw Micheal's and Hobby Lobby looking for some sort of Star of Flag shaped wood piece and not being able to find anything I decided to think out side the box and came across a clearance isle in Micheal's.

 Going threw my die cut alpha stash to find a size that would fit the words Red, White, and Blue.

I choose a Lawn Fawn set called Quins ABC's.

This is a chalk board tag from Micheal's priced at $.76, yep less then a dollar three quarters and a penny. WOW, I may need to grab a few more.

 Here I am using some heavy weight card stock in Red, White, and Blue colors.

Also using some Sizzix Adhesive sheets to make the letters stick to the sign.

Which was a BLESSING because in the end the blue pictured was was too dark and I was able to peel them off and add a different blue.

I cut three pieces of 5/8 inch white gross grain ribbon to 20 inches long.

Don't forget to heat seal the edges.

I got this for $2.00 at Micheal's with a coupon and have plenty left for other projects.

 Hot glue to the back about 1 inch of the ribbon.

Space them to your liking.

Close up, I like this blue alot more.

Red, White, and Blue Flower Clip using fake Flowers

Here is anouther Red, White, and Blue hair clip idea.

I found these stacks of fake flowers in my closet, I must have purchased them at least 1 year or more ago, well I am finally putting them to go use.

Here are my Red, White, and Blue fake flower from my stash, just use some wire cutters and pull the stems off.

I cut out some circle felt pieces in white, two for each clip.

They are just about 1/8 inch larger then the end of the clip.

Add a dab of glue on one end and place your felt on top.

Add a dab more and place the second felt on top and squish them together.

Add one flower piece on top with a small dab of glue.

Add the same one just off center to give the flower more fluff with a little dab of glue.

And repeat, dab of glue off center.

And one last time, off center and dab of glue as well as a cut gem in the center with anouther dab of glue.

And finished, here is the front and back. Super simple under twenty minutes.

Red, White, and Blue Star Felt Barrette

Oh the Joys of clip and barrette making.

Again looking to Pinterest and found some inspiration.

 Using Stampin UP star framelits and my Big Shot I decided to cut up some felt that I purchased from my local craft store.

 I have some cutting plates that I just use for felt only seperate from the plates I use to cut paper.

I ran them back and forth about six to ten times and still needed to cut just barely along the edges of the blue and white star.

I believe because the cutting edge of the die is not deep.

 I hot glued them all together and will add them to a white 3/8 inch gross grain lined barrette clip.

 I have a post on how to line Barrette clips, if you would like to see that go ahead and CLICK HERE.

 I made two using two different barrette clips because my girls have different hair.

The bigger one is about 2 inches and the smaller one is about 1 1/2 inches.

The back after I glued them down.

You can see a little of the clip when the star is turned over but not to much to make a difference.

Red, White, and Blue ribbon Flower clip

I have seen these all over Pinterest but no measurement on how to make them so I decided trial by error and figured out how to make them and I want to share it with you.

 I cut eight pieces of 3/8 inch gross grain ribbon in sizes.

Blue 1 1/2 inch
White 1 3/4 inch
Red 2 inch

I am using some Dual and Duty Plus Craft and Button thread.

A nice thick thread will do, I lined up the ribbon as shown in the photo and also doubled the thread.

 I then pulled it threw and lined up the ribbon on the other side and needed it threw.

 Here all sets done.

 I seperated them just a little and sealed the edges of all eight sets.

 I tied in a double knot and attached it to a hair clip.

It took some rearangeing and its not perfect but it will work.

 Using a small circle die and white felt I added it to the back of the clip with some hot glue.

 To add some more stability I hot glued a gem to the center of the top of the flower.

red, white, and blue flower clip

Again feeling the Red, White, and Blue vibe I took a Stamps of Life club die set from June 2016 and used it to make a patriotic flower hair clip.

 Here I took some white felt and used my big shot to die cut some circles just about the size of my alligator clip.

I put one inside the clip at first and add some hot glue to the top of it.

 I added the second white circle felt to the top and pressed them down to seal them together.

 I used the June Stamps of Life club die set that goes with the stamps set called flowerpower2fill.

I cut out the flower section twice, once in red felt and once in blue felt.

I cut the shadow out twice in white gelt

 Using a small amount of hot glue I slowly added the center and the petals to the flower shadow.

 I glued it to the top making sure I had it the right way so I would not glue the clip shut.

 View from the back, I glued the flower so that you would not be able to see the clip from the front.

4th of July Rolled Ribbon Rose Barrette

I was definitly in the mood for some red, white, and blue so I pulled out my My Favorite Things rolled rose die that I got a while back, it was a free with purchase die.

 Here I am testing out rolling the die using the felt I cut out with my big shot.

I use the Micheal's and Hobby Lobby brand and run it back and forth threw my machine about 8 times to get a nice clean cut.

 Using a bit of hot glue on the end I roll it up a few time.

 Add anouther small bit of hot glue and continue rolling.

 Again adding a bit more hot glue, I think I added a total of 4-5 small drops as I rolled the rose up.

I did this loosely and found it gave the best flower look.

 The bottom is a half circle and fits perfectly over the rolls and will give the final and perfect seal to hold all the rose layers together.

 Here is all three together.

 I lined a barrette clip with 3/8 inch white gross grain ribbon.

 I used two different lengths of barrette clips to match my daughters hair type.

I start with the white in the middle first to get a more accurate even look.

 For the white rose you just need hot glue on the bottom.

When you add the blue you will want to add some hot glue to one side and the bottom.

Same with the red rose a bit of hot glue on one of the sides and bottom.

Take your time to make sure you are glueing the right side.

If you hold the white petals flat you can fit the red and blue flower against it and get it lined up nicely.
