The badges I have used, have a pin that is 2cm long. My hair clips fit snuggly inside them. The hair clips are roughly 1 1/2cm wide at the widest point.
Take your badge of choice and your hair clip. Open the pin on the back of your badge. Push the flat end of the clip under the pin. Push it all the way to the side of the badge.
Close the pin securely.
(I have found that the badges stay on the clips fine, while in my hair. If you want, you can glue them in place, for a permanent hair clip, or leave them without glue and you can change them around!)
Repeat steps 1 to 3 with your second badge and hair clip and you are done!
Yes I a firm believer in things not being too permanent, if I can get away with no glue, so be it haha
Tara the cat wanted to get in on the craft action too ;)
thats a really awesome idea, ive got so many pins i never wear any more and tons of plain hair clips like that around, id love to try this one out soon.

This idea is great, it's so simple, but you could change your badges to suit your mood. Cute cat too!
