Playing with scraps…

ctjhvjhg1I am sure that you all have a few thousand pounds of scraps in your stash.  Those beloved bits of your favorite fabric….you know what I am talking about, right!?   (We used Riley Blake, April Cornell, American Jane, Tula Pink and other various scraps.)

Well, we decided to make some cute little clips with the fabric covered buttons.  We made ponytail holders and snap clips (barrettes) and we just love them!  They are perfect to brighten any outfit! And perfect for those small pieces of your favorite fabric,  you just can’t throw away!

It was a lovely weekend.  How was yours?

FYI:  this is a very addictive project.  You will not be able to stop.  I swear.  But, since Christmas is right around the corner…..You’ll have the perfect excuse.    How cute would they be all wrapped up as gifts!??!  Oh my.  Now I am in real trouble.

********************UPDATE***********************

We have now uploaded a video tutorial for you all to enjoy!  Learn how to make a fabric covered button and a pony tail holder!!  Go here!

    They be so cute tied up in the bow too! Or stocking stuffers :) What a fun little project to make some “designer” hair clips!

    These are fabulous – I have a daughter who is 12 – she and her friends would think this was spectacular! I’m assuming a hot glue gun for the clips, but how did you attach to the hair ribbons? Did you sew them on, or glue them? Did you use clamps?

    Thanks!

    I am embarrassed to say, but I’ve never made fabric covered buttons! Is it hard? How did you attach to the clips and ponytail holders? Could you give a quick description? Thanks
