Spring Hair Bow/ Hair Clip holder

I decided to make a Spring version of my hair bow/ hair clip holders.   My girls do have a three bin compartment with alot of hair accesories in them but I like to have my hand made special bows displayed out in the open.

Links to other Bow Holders Valentines, Halloween, Fall, 4th of July.

 I started off with my super of a deal .89 cent chalk board signs from Micheal's clearance section a while back.

Wax paper to cover so I can design without making a mistake.

 Like how I first thought I would use the white bird but changed my mind and went with two birds.

Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere them together.

 Some Vellum card stock scraps and also some Tombow Mono Liquid Glue again.

I trimmed them down and added more glue.

I started with the center letters and worked my way out to make sure I centered the word Spring.

 I am using 22 inches of gross grain ribbon.

One 3/8 inches wide for the center and two 7/8 inch wide for the outside edges.

My grid mat makes placement very easy.

I was going to use 20 inches and glue the two inches but I decided to go with 21 inches and glue down the 1 inch remainder.

All done, I added some tiny black pearls for their eyes.

Side view, sparkly silver thickers I think make it perfect on the black chalkboard frame.

Rainbow Alligator Clip

Decided to make a Rainbow Alligator Hair Clip.

 I started off with 4 inches of 3/8 inch gross grain ribbon in Rainbow colors.

Using a alligator clip to hold them down while I glue the bottoms.

I flipped it over and lifted one at a time the ends in the center and added a small dab of glue.

 I then glued the bottoms down, one at a time.

 I trimmed and heat sealed the edges.

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

I added one side starting with the red then curved it over to give it the Rainbow curve.

 I cut anouther piece of white gross grain ribbon 3/8 inches wide and heat sealed one edge.

Glued it to the back.

 Glued and wrapped around to the front and glued to the back.

 I took a 4 inch piece of white gross grain ribbon in 3/8 inch wide and folded it in half.

It just made it easier to see the center, add a little bit of hot glue to the center and fold each side over to create bow loops.

 Take a scrap piece of white gross grain ribbon again the 3/8 inch wide and wrap around the center.

Hot Glue to the back.

 Adding some Hot Glue to the center of that bow and placing ontop in the middle/center of the Rainbow.

I added a clear sparkly gem from my stash with more Hot Glue to the center of that.

 I used some gold and yellow Vellum from my stash and a Stampin UP die to create the box.

I used more gold and yellow Vellum to create the tag using a Stamps of Life die and a circle punch with with card stock for the center.

The bow just slips inside.

This bow I started with the red again just a different outcome.

Feel free to try different folds just always start with the red.
