Do It Yourself!
Dragonfly Hair Bows...
Supplies:
Ribbons
(3/8" or
smaller)
Googly eyes (4mm)
Hair
clips
Hot glue gun
Antenna
Instructions:
Line your clippy with
green ribbon (instructions HERE).
Apply some hot glue to
a paper towel. Quickly grasp a googly eye with tweezers,
and dip the eye into the puddle of hot glue. Immediately
apply it to the top part of the clippie, and press it
down w/ your fingers. Apply all googly eyes.
Cut a 5" piece and a 6"
piece of ribbon for each dragonfly, in whatever color
you want the wings. I used 3/8" ribbon, but skinnier
ribbon would be cute too.
Hot glue the 5" ribbon
onto the clippie, as shown.
Hot glue the 6" ribbon
onto the clippie, directly over the diamond-shaped
overlap of the previous "wing" piece. Your dragon fly
should look like this...
Bend the bottom ribbon
up, tucking it in on itself, and hot glue its' center to
the diamond. Then, bend the top ribbon down, tucking it
in on itself, and hot glue its' center directly over the
last piece.
Horray! You have a
happy little dragonfly! (I still need to find something
good to use for antennas, which can be glued on under
the back side of the head.)
Variations: This would
be a cute little bug to stick on a covered headband as
well.
Last, if you decided to
do this project yourself, please send me a photo with
your name and what state you're from! I've recently
decided to start featuring my readers' finished results.
