These felt flower hair clips are so cute and easy to make. They’d make lovely handmade gifts for Christmas and would be a good craft for older kids. They’d be perfect for those times when you just need “Something little” that you can add to a larger gift, or give to school friends along with their cards.

My kids adore their hair accessories. We have a semi-organised plastic tub of them that gets used every single day.

One thing I’ve learned in my time as a parent is that you can never have too many hair things. You need things in different colours to match different outfits, suit different hair styles and sometimes just suit the mood of the day. 

Somehow, hair things in our house just “disappear” too. Maybe we have a hair-thing fairy hiding somewhere who loves to steal our clips and elastics, who knows?

I got to thinking that if my kids love hair things, other people’s kids probably love them too so I’ve decided to make some as gifts.

These felt flower hair clips fulfil all of my criteria for a handmade gift because they are A) quick and easy to make, B) inexpensive to make – you can use felt scraps from other sewing projects and a bulk pack of plain hair clips from the supermarket , C) useful , D) small so they won’t clutter up somebody’s home.

The ones you see here are are not gifts. They are all for my girls, and wouldn’t you know it that naughty hair-thing fairy has already pinched a few of them!

How to make felt flower hair clips

Felt flower hair clips step 1

You will need:

• soft felt – felt scraps are perfect
• plain hair clips, I got mine from the hair accessories aisle in the supermarket, but you can also find them on Amazon
• embroidery thread
• sewing needle and needle-threader
• double sided tape
• the flower template (d

)

How to:

Select the flower shape you wish to create, roughly cut it out and stick onto felt using a small square of double sided tape. Cut around the flower, then remove the shape, stick onto another piece of felt and cut out a second one. This is for the second matching clip. Repeat for the other two shapes that make up your flower.

The girls love how they turned out, and I’m not surprised the sneaky hair-thing fairy has her eye on them!

You could make a pair to match an outfit you’ve bought for somebody, or give them as gifts to school friends as an alternative to candy canes.
