Make Your Own Knotted Barrettes
Hi there! Have you seen the sweet hairclips available to buy? They look so cute on big & little girls! And they really aren’t too hard to make- you just need some good ribbon! 😉
First you’ll want to gather your supplies. I used 3/8” grosgrain ribbon, a hair clip from a local beauty supply store, and my Helmar’s adhesive.
I tied a knot in the ribbon to start with. Nothing fancy, just a knot.
Here’s the tricky part. I didn’t want my knotted ends to show or come loose. It probably would be fine, and MUCH easier to just glue them underneath! I wove the ribbon under the strip of ribbon with a knot. (I use 7” to cover the barrette. The knotted strip just needs to be long enough to tie the knot & crisscross under the top of the barrette).
I know it sounds confusing. It’s hard to explain, and honestly after I did one, it got much easier!
Now you can attach the rest of the ribbon & trim the excess from the knot!
Like I said, it got easier, so I made more!
Don’t they look cute packaged on a button card? 🙂
These would be such a fun gift- and you could make new ones seasonally for a fraction of the cost of buying them!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ve been inspired!
