Two Toned Flower Alligator Clip

Me and Alexis were shopping at Micheal's one night before Girl Scouts started and she saw these awsome flowers and new I needed to make some hair clips, she said mainly for Pivia, shes our hair clip gal.

 I am using a 1 3/4 inch Alligator Clip that I lined with white 3/8 inch Gross Grain ribbon.

Don't forget to heat seal your edges.

 These are the flowers we picked out there is also anouther color but not pictured in this post.

Here I am showing how to remove them.

 Using scissors I cut the leaves into three pieces.

 Wire snips to cut off the flowers from the stems.

 Takeing them apart to be able to put two flowers together.

 The one flower on the left is what your going for, it will give you a fuller looking clip.

You will have excess flower centers and backs along with leaves, I give the leaves and any odd or funny looking petals to my girls for their crafts and threw away the stems and centers.

 Out of two bunches you can get up to four flowers that are double layered.

There were 6 bunches of flowers per pack and three flower on each, some of the flowers already had two sets of petals on them which was pretty cool.

 I use a Low Temp glue gun to adhere the ribbon to the Alligator clip and a Hot Temp glue gun to adhere the flower and leave to the lined Alligator clip.

 It all depends on how much leaf you would like to show from the side of your flower.

You can adhere the leaf to either side or you can even use two leaves one on each side.

All done

How the back looks

I used a decent size glob of Hot Glue to adhere the flower because its not an even surface.

Just make sure you don't add too much hot glue because it will spue over.
