Hair clips are back. Here’s how to turn those useful clips into something more elegant.

Covering your clips with luxurious ribbon adds an element of elegance to those practical accessories. I love to add a ribbon covered hair clip to my everyday hairstyle. Contains affiliate links.

You will need the following tools and materials to make your ribbon covered hair clips:

1: Two metal hair clips. I used this pair that I had lying around.

2: Two pieces of ribbon long enough to wrap around the ends of the clips. I used this red satin ribbon.

3: Super glue. You might want to use Araldite for a stronger hold.

Follow these steps to make your hair clips:

1: Add glue to the back of one clip.

2: Add the ribbon and hold it in place until it is secured. Be careful not to glue your fingers.

3: Open the clip and Fold the ribbon around it.

4: Add glue to the underside of the open top.

5: Secure the other end of the ribbon. Make sure there is enough slack to allow your clip to close properly.

6: Add extra glue if needed to secure the ribbon in place.

7: Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the second clip.

Once your clips are dry you can pop them in your hair and go on your way!
