A few months ago I was guest posting over at The Love Nerds with this fun and super easy miniature crown clip.  I wanted to repost it here for archival purposes and just in case anyone missed it.  These are so much fun!
If you have a little princess or prince, they are going to love this little project for a Mini Crown Clip. My youngest daughter loves to dress up as a princess. When she’s a princess, she likes to complete her outfit with a crown, but they never seem to want to stay on her head. I whipped up a tiny little crown, and it worked perfectly to stay in her hair.
Mini Crown Hair Clip
Supplies:
- Foam sheets
- Pen/Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Alligator hair clip
- 5-6 inch piece of ribbon
- Pattern – Click HERE to print it.
Directions:
1. Â Cut out the pattern and trace it onto the back of the foam sheet.
2. Â Cut out the crown from the foam sheet.
3. Â Add hot glue the inside of last crown point. Â Then, match up the diagonal side of the two crown points on either end. Â Hold together for a few seconds for hot glue to hold.
4. Â Set aside the crown, and cover the alligator clip with hot glue and cover it with ribbon. Â Make sure to keep a little extra ribbon at the back of the clip so you can easily open it without tension on the ribbon. Â I tuck a little extra at the back of the cip, like the picture, as I glue the ribbon to the bottom.
5. Â Now on either side of the crown, add some hot glue to the edges to attach to the hair clip.
6. Â Once you attach the crown, let it sit for a minute or two so the hot glue can harden before trying it on.
Wasn’t that easy? Â I used glitter foam sheets for this project. Â I wanted glittery crowns, but could not find any that wasn’t sticky backed at the craft store. Â So, these crowns are actually made with sticky back foam sheets, but I just kept the backing on it.
