Help with baby hair clips

[wink6877]

I want to make some hair clips...just on the silver alligator clips. Any ideas??

I make these for my daughter.  I actually get most of the ribbon at the dollar spot at target.  I also use different scrapbook embelishments to glue on the top and make them a little more fancy (hearts, flowers, Jewels...).  I also glue a little piece of velcro on the inside (the top side of the clip) so that it stays in her hair better.  I use the pokey side of the velcro not the soft side...hope that makes sense.  Send us some pictures when you get some made!  They are a fun easy project!!  they are great for gifts too!

Does the velcro help with it staying in?  I've made my own as well in the past and also get a lot of my ribbon at the Dollar Spot at Target too.  But I haven't heard the velcro trick...my daughter's hair is fine and so even the Goody Brand with the no-slip grip won't even stay after awile!  I will definitely try this...

Another tip for the ribbon is after you have it cut is to take a lighter and slightly take the flame close to the ends of the ribbon...this creates a "seal" so that the edges won't fray.
