Custom flora and fauna hair clips.

       These are definitely one of my favorite things.  They are easy to customize for any season and make you feel pretty when you do not have time to really do anything with your hair buy put it in a bun and go. 

  • All you need is silk flowers/leaves, mushroom finches, butterflies or anything lightweight and beautiful for the decoration. 
  • Hair clips of your choice.  I love these straight duckbill clips they offer a great base.  You also do not need to look for a clip that will hold your hair.  The clip is only there to hold the design you want on your hair. 

  •  E6000 glue.  It is magic what this stuff can do.  You will end up using this all over the house. 
The clips are really as easy as finding a flat part on your design.  Play with the ornament on a flat surface like a table to see how it naturally rests undisturbed.  Lay a piece of cardboard on your work surface and place a clip on your board.  Now rearrange the ornament on the clip to see how it rests.  If you try to force the positioning they will prematurely come off of the clip and you will get frustrated.  Now simply place a drop of glue onto the flat part of your clip and place the ornament.  Allow to dry for 4 hours.
