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.
