"Blossom" - Spring has sprung barrette
Hi all!
This is my first, ever, tut and I'm a newbie to stitching.
This is a simple, doodle embroidered, felt covered hair barrette. It costs almost nothing to make & in a snap!
Enjoy!

Trace around the hair clip onto card stockCut about 1/4" around, larger than your tracingYour template should look something like this
Using your template, cut out 2 pieces from your felt
Take 1 of the felt pieces and doodle embroider your design leaving about 1/4" edge all aroundPut aside for a few
Next...Place the hair clip on the remaining piece of feltApproximate where you'll be inserting the narrow piece (the unsnapped hair clip's bottom piece) through the felt
Taking your scissors, snip a short slit like this...
With an unsnapped hair clip, insert the narrow piece through the slit you just snipped
Snap closed
Place the 2 felt pieces together, one on top of the other- your embroidered piece RS facing out, the underside should look like thisI used a running stitch all the way around
Like so
Turn it overTah-dah!
