How to Make a Mini Hat Hair Clip for St. Patrick’s Day

Ingredients

  • Bottle cap
  • Round template (anything bigger than your cap)
  • Cardboard
  • Green acrylic paint
  • Green glitter
  • Gold ribbon (thinner the better)
  • Industrial glue (E-600 is the best)
  • Black tulle
  • Long Bobby Pins
  • Scissors
  • Paint brush (foam ones work perfectly)

Instructions

  1. Take your round template and place it on your cardboard. Make sure your circle is just a bit larger than your bottle cap.
  2. Cut out a circle (that is larger than your bottle cap)
  3. Glue the bottle cap to your cardboard circle and set aside.
  4. While it's drying, take a SMALL piece of your black tulle and bunch it together. Then, glue the gathering point together.
  5. Once your tulle is glued well enough to stay put, trim the excess end off.
  6. Dip a sponge into your green paint, and completely coat your "hat".
  7. Before it dries, sprinkle your hat generously in green glitter.
  8. Cut a strip of your gold ribbon long enough to wrap around the base of your bottle cap.
  9. Add glue to the underside of your ribbon and place it around the base of your bottle cap.
  10. Take your bunched tulle and add a dab of glue to the base and glue it to the side of your hat.
  11. While your glue is drying, grab a large bobby pin and add a drop of glue to the top.
  12. Place your hat into place on your bobby pin and let dry.
  13. When St.Patty's Day arrives, slide your festive hat pin into your hair and celebrate in style!
