Last fall I ordered several button jars from the Ribbon Retreat to create some Christmas crafts. I started playing around with some of the buttons and came up with this cute idea.
The button jars at The Ribbon Retreat are 5 oz. of beautifully coordinated buttons for only $5.99!
Button Hair Clip Tutorial
Supplies:
Buttons – a variety of sizes
Felt Circle – I used 1 3/4″ in a dark color
Mini Single Prong Clip
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
Remember you can get all of your supplies here at The Ribbon Retreat!
Before I begin, I create a mock-up of the design I will use to glue the buttons onto the felt circle.
Step one:
Glue each of the buttons in the desired location.
I like to create a couple of layers, starting with larger buttons on the bottom and overlapping some of the buttons on the top layer for a whimsical effect.
Make sure you only glue two-thirds of the bottom layer of buttons to the felt.
This way you can trim around the buttons more easily.
Step two:
Trim the felt away from the edges of the buttons so you can not see any felt from the top view.
Step three:
Prepare to glue the prong clip to the felt piece.
I hold the clip open with a toothpick so glue does not seep through when I attach it to the clip.
And now you’ve made your cute Button Hair Clip!
I like to attach these clips to infant headbands, but I have also used them alone for my older daughters’ hair.
So order a few button jars and come up with beautiful designs for your Button Hair Clip!

Hi, I made an order about 10 days ago, but haven’t heard from you. PayPal did confirm the order payment, but so far I have no idea of where my order is right now. Please you have my e-mail, can you let me know whether they are on their way. Thanks, Maria L
