Make It Yourself: Hair Clip Holder

January 28 2013 By melbournemamma 1 Comment

Today I made a hair clip holder for my daughter (and her ever increasing collection of hair clips).

 

It was soooo easy that I’m kicking myself for not making one sooner.

 

I used materials I already had lying around the house but I’m sure you could pick up all the items for no more than $10 from your local craft/fabric store.

 

I had an old canvas print that used to hang in our house years ago (see, sometimes it pays to hold onto stuff/crap), so along with a fat quarter of fabric and some ribbon from my craft box, I had everything I needed.

 

I used a hot glue gun to secure the fabric and ribbon but you could also use a staple gun or even tacks.

 

First step was to iron the fabric, so it was crease free (I only ironed the centre section and left the edges that were being folded over).

 

Then I lay the fabric face down on the table and positioned the canvas (I used the polkadots as a guide to make sure the canvas was straight).

 

 

Then I began folding over and gluing each side of the fabric, making sure that I pulled it tight each time. I didn’t worry about how neat it looked at the back because I’m going to cover the back with a large piece of cardboard, just to finish it off.

 

 

The I spaced out the ribbons and secured them with thumb tacks at each side, to hold them in place while I glued them at the back.

 

 

Once the glue had dried, I removed the tacks and it was ready to decorate.

 

 

In total it took me no more than 20 minutes to make and that was with the assistance of a 5 yr old and a 2yr old (who now wants one for his room, even though he doesn’t have any clips πŸ™‚ )

 

 

You should give it a go.

This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves This beautifully written and poignant novel weaves together the stories of a Cypriot family across generations. 

Set against the backdrop of the Cyprus conflict, the book explores love, loss, and the enduring power of nature 🌳

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

β€œTwo teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. The taverna It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.

In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart.

Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus Carica growing in the back garden of their home.”
