Get Creative with Hair Clips: How to Make a Leather Flower Hair Clip

Making a leather flower hair clip is an easy and fun way to add some unique flair to your hairstyles. Adding simple decorations to your hair can be the perfect touch to any outfit, whether you’re dressing up for a night out or simply looking for something special to finish off a casual look.

Here’s how to make your own leather flower hair clip using four basic materials you probably already have at home.

To start, you will need a piece of leather in whatever colour you like. You can buy pre-cut pieces from craft stores, or you can cut some from an old pair of jeans or another article of clothing. You will also need scissors and either a drill or a hole punch to make the holes that will hold the clip together. Finally, you’ll need one large alligator clip and some smaller clips (like barrettes).

Once you have all the materials together, begin by cutting out the shape of the flower from the leather material. Draw or trace an outline onto the leather before cutting it out with scissors so it looks as even as possible. Be sure to leave enough excess material around the edges so it is easier to glue and attach later.

Next, use either a drill or hole punch to make two evenly spaced holes on both sides of the flower shape–one near each edge–where you will attach the clips later on. Make sure that these holes are not too close together otherwise, they won’t fit properly when attaching them later.

Once this is done, it’s time to assemble your leather flower clip! Begin by gluing each side of the flower onto one end of your large alligator clip using fabric glue, allowing it to dry completely before moving on. Once this is done, place one small barrette onto each side so that they line up with each hole made earlier, then secure them in place with fabric glue before letting everything dry completely once again.

And now your beautiful leather flower hair clip is complete! To wear it, slip it over your bun or ponytail, then open up both small clips onto sections of hair near each side–and voilà! An effortlessly chic accessory full of personality is yours for any special occasion or day-to-day look! Get creative with different colours and materials if desired; there are endless possibilities when creating something unique just for yourself!
