DISCLAIMER: This is not for teeny-weeny's who enjoy dismantling and sucking on everything. This contains small parts and is not intended for those in the oral fixation stage.
That being said, let's get started:
1. Buy silk flower scrapbooking materials, brads, and plain ole metal hair clips like so:
Flowers and brads from Hobby Lobby (they often have them 50% off and it is worth the wait)
Hair Clips from Sally's Beauty Supply, 100 clips for $5.50
2. Put the brad through the stack of flowers you want for this hair clip:
3. Open the clip and thread the brad through the hole in the middle of one side of the clip and spread the tines apart so that it stays in place:
4. ALL DONE!
They are each unique because of the thousands of combinations of silk flowers and brads. You can get polka-dot flowers and jewel brads or brads in the shape of flowers, etc, etc. I love these and it is just a little touch to bring some sparkle to your special lady. These are for adults, too! My sister wears them all the time, but she mentioned they are perfect to add a splash of color to your wardrobe if you are going out in you favorite little black dress. You can throw on a purse/belt or heels to match your flower hair clip....LOVE IT!
Since this is a crafty post, I have to mention a blog called The Artful Parent since it is BURSTING full of toddler craft activities. This mom has a list up now for a crafty activity to do with your *little* everyday in March! You don't have to be crafty to do this stuff...just give your kiddo the supplies and watch them go.

These are totally awesome. I will never again buy the hair clips at Wal-mart. They are cheaper to make and way, way cuter. Thanks, Elizabeth!
