How to sew bunny hair clips
Materials:
- bunny hair clip templates
- a piece of fabric scraps for ears of about 14″ x 5″
- a piece of fabric for the tie in the middle, of about 10″ x 2″
- fabric pen
- scissors
- pins
- matching thread
- craft wire
- pliers
- poly-fill
- hair clips (similar here)
- pressing iron
- blunt tool for pushing corners out
- hand needle
- glue gun (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the fabric pieces
- Take the strip of fabric scrap for the ears, press it well and fold in on half, lengthwise, right sides together.
- Place the template over and trace around it
- Pin through both fabrics
- Cut out with your scissors.
Make the bow
- Sew with 1/4″ allowance, leaving a small gap in one of the sides to turn the ear right side out.
- Clip the tips and trim the seam in half.
- Turn fabrics right side out through the gap.
- Push the corners out with a blunt tool (or you can use this method).
- Smooth out the seams then iron press.
- Fill the ear with poly-fill through the gap.
- Cut a piece of wire double in size than the ear.
- Fold it in half and twist.
- Bend the ends with pliers to form a coil.
- Insert the wire inside the ear.
- Hand stitch the gap closed using a ladder stitch. Don’t worry if your stitch is not perfect, it will be hidden once the hair clip is attached to the bunny ear.
Make the tie
- Take the second template and place it on the tie fabric, trace around it then cut out.
- Fold the ends of the tie in lengthwise, slightly overlapping them then press well with your iron.
- Fold one of the ends in about 1/4″ and press well.
Assemble the bunny clip
- Take the raw end of the tie and sew it to where the gap used to be, the fold in the tie facing the gap.
- Wrap the tie around the ear tightly, two times, until the folded end reaches the raw edge.
- Hand stitch the folded end to the ear, without going through all the layers, just through the first and the second layer of the tie.
- Insert the hair clip under the tie or glue it to the ear.
- Fold the ear by pressing onto the wire inside.
And you’re done! Your stunning bunny hair clips are ready for wearing!
Tips for sewing the bunny bows
- You can also make the ears and tie using different fabrics for a more colorful and unique look.
- Don’t have craft wire? You can substitute it with a pipe cleaner or floral wire.
- Instead of hand stitching the gap closed, you can also use hemming tape or a glue gun for a quicker finish.
- For even quicker assembly, you can use a glue gun to attach the hair clip to the back of the ear.
- Experiment with different sizes and shapes of fabric scraps to create different styles of bunny hair clips.
