Heart

Here is the heart clip.  Perfect for Valentine's day, or any day for that matter.  It's on a medium size clip but could be adjusted bigger or smaller.

HO, HO, HO

I couldn't have holiday clips without including Santa!!  He is a BIG hit with baby girl.  She has worn him nonstop since I asked her to try it on for a picture.  I also asked her to model the santa hat, and she  refused, multiple times.  Apparently the hat is not a hit, but the full face is.  Big girl liked both.  So here are pictures of both.  Both are on large size clips, but as you can see in baby girl's hair, it isn't too big.








Clips in action

Here are some pics of my sweet guinea pigs!!  Fortunately for me they gladly wear them, unfortunately for me we don't always agree on what clip to wear with a particular outfit!  But, there are far greater things to worry about than a mismatched clip!


This little cupcake is on the smallest size clip.


This bigger cupcake is on a medium size clip.


The crown is also on a medium size clip, sitting over a rubberband in this shot.


The owl is on a medium size clip.


Flowers

Flowers can be made in almost any combination of colors desired.  I make them in large and small sizes.









Crown

Perfect clip for a perfect princess.  A favorite of my oldest!  I have it in two sizes so the baby girl can look just like her big sister!  They are on the large and medium size clip.




Cupcakes

Baby girl turned two and what is better than a cupcake clip for her hair?  It was perfect and matched her birthday dress!  Since I have a sweet tooth, I was able to come up with many 'flavor' varieties for the cupcake.  And they come in sizes for babies and big girls.  The stand alone cupcakes are the bigger ones and the cupcakes with the background are on the smallest clips.















Animals

I seem to have a lot of animals.  They are just so fun to make and cute in their hair!  We've already discussed the whale obsession and owl connection.  So there is a dog, actually several dogs.  Scotty dog comes in hot pink with black and red with black.  Inspired by baby girls cutest hand-me-down "puppy doggies" overalls.  He is on a medium size clip and works perfectly in both test subject's hair.  The other dog, as he is much bigger required a large size clip.









Another random favorite of the baby girl is the frog prince.  There is no rhyme or reason to the preference of a two year old as evidenced by her fondness for particular clips.  Although, as with most things, a toddler's likes and dislikes change day to day or even hour to hour.  My toddler is not quite so fickle when it comes to her clips.





The panda bear is the newest addition to the clip collection.  Inspired by a popular television show I could not resist!  The girls think he is great.


Then there are the birds, a friend requested these.



The turtle is a favorite of mine, and with a much more subtle color scheme than the rest.




And that leaves the penguin and the ladybug.  I told you I had a lot of animals!










Seasonally appropriate

What collection would be complete without adding holiday inspired clips?  I started with the pumpkin, it works for halloween and thanksgiving.


And what thanksgiving feast would be complete without a turkey?


Then moving on to christmas, I added a couple types of trees, in various sizes.  Then my favorite, the reindeer.  The original is huge, on the biggest size clip I have.  But, by request he is now available in three sizes from baby to big girl.  And there is the snowman (or i guess more appropriately snow woman she looks pretty feminine to me), since both my girls have snowman attire featuring both baby pink and baby blue, she comes in two colors!  And she can work all through winter.  And of course a gingerbread man, his buttons come in either red or pink.  I can't wait for December so they can wear them!










Fruit



The green apple is one of my favorites, and I can usually convince the little one to wear it.  Both my girls have many outfits this season featuring the yummy fruit.  But, if there is a green apple then there must be a red apple of course.  And while we're on the fruit theme a strawberry is perfect right?  What summer wardrobe doesn't include a strawberry theme!  Luckily my oldest guinea pig (6 year old) is more than happy to wear all of the clips to school and she usually can be convinced of a color appropriate clip!








Hoot!



I created this clip before going back to my college homecoming.  As a Chi Omega the owl will always have a special place in my heart, and what other colors could make it complete?  Although I realized that not everyone would have quite the same feelings about those most perfect colors...so I made it in some other, more little girl friendly, colors.  As I am always noticing owls, I have it in two different designs, who doesn't need multiple owl type clips?  And lucky for me the owl is a hit with my test subjects (my daughters). Although they mostly prefer to pair the pink owl with red and yellow clothing and the red and yellow owl with pink clothing!  Sometimes it's not worth the fight in the morning to make sure a 2 year old's hair clip matches her clothes!









The Whale

This is my baby girl's favorite clip. I have no idea what the attraction to the whale is, but she loves them, so much so that I was required to make them in several different colors so that the clip would somewhat match the outfit she has on.






How it all began

I have two daughters. I love putting girly hair bows in their hair, but sometimes bows just seem so big!! I took baby girl to the park one day and saw a baby with a flat rectangular clip in her hair. I loved it. But, being the super smart Mommy I am didn't think to ask where she might have gotten the clip. So, instead I tried to recreate it. I tried several different methods including fabric and the silver clippies that stick up on one side, trying to harden the fabric so it would stay just right, none of these attempts were successful. Then I found some felt clips on a kids clothing website, I can't remember which one and it all clicked!! Felt was the answer it is sturdy enough to keep it's shape and comes in so many different colors it would be so easy to make so many different things. Apparently I am not the only person to discover the wonder of felt as there are many websites out there selling felt hair clips, and here are mine!
The picture quality is not great, but the clip quality is.  I hand stitch all the clips.  There are three different clip sizes, most being medium sized.  My two year old and six year old both wear those, the bigger clips work great for both as well.  The smallest clip works for the two year old, but is more geared for a smaller girl.  Interested?  Email me!
