I made a hair clip holder!

Woot! I just have to put the ribbon on, but have to wait for it to arrive in the mail first, hopefully Monday! I guess it's not too bad for a first attempt, but could be better...there is a spot in the bottom left hand corner where some glue leaked through the fabric, hopefully it might scratch out, or at least be mostly covered with some ribbon.

I don't know if I wasn't using the glue gun right, or if it was just being a dog, but it wasn't working how I thought it would and seemed to take ages for the glue to come out, then it would come out in a big blob, whereas it was perfectly happy rhythmically dripping onto the floorboards :o
So the front of the frame is a bit lumpy with dried glue, it was practically drying faster than it was coming out! I guess from a distance you probably won't notice it but I'm still a bit disappointed, although proud of what I've done, I think it looks quite good!

... well this got my attention cause i think i may have a hairclip fetish for my sweet DD cause she now owns 3 hairclip holders to hold ALL her hairclips :D

good on you for having a go at making one :thumbsup: ... something i should have thought about doing ;)

Ohhh would love to see a pic of the finished product when you get the ribbon on.
I am going to make 1 each for my girls when i get my butt into gear as we have a bit of a hairclip addiction here too... We have a huggies wipes container (the flip top ones) FULL of hairties and hairclips and thats NOT including the really pretty ones on makeshift holders at the moment :redface:

:clap: great work for giving it a go!

Finished it tonight, pic for you ZF :p Login | Facebook

Now just have to attempt to make some of my own clips! I think the clips I bought are slightly wrong though...they are alligator clips but have teeth (flat top) and a kind of triangle shaped bottom...they are also a bit hard to open so hopefully i don't end up snapping DD's head off :o

Ohhhh cute, it looks great! BG and i had been discussing HOW we are going to make ours, i was thinking of doing mine on a canvas, then i commented that the girls had a big pink frame i have no pics in yet... was thinking about leaving the frame pink and covering the backing board.... hmmmm what to do what to do ;) you have me thinking.
