Passion Collection #10: Craft a Dazzling Two-Tone Ribbon Hair Clip Tutorial

Welcome to Passion Collection #10, where elegance meets creativity! Today, we're embarking on a delightful DIY project to create a stunning two-tone ribbon hair clip. This accessory beautifully combines vibrant red with classic black, enhanced by a sparkling faux diamond embellishment. It's a versatile piece perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated charm to any hairstyle, reflecting the passionate and bold essence of our collection.

Materials You'll Need:

1 piece of patterned Red Ribbon, 1 inch wide, 6 inches long

1 piece of Black Ribbon, 0.3 inches wide, 4 inches long

1 piece of Black Ribbon, 0.3 inches wide, 2.5 inches long

1 Metal Alligator Clip

Elastic Cotton Thread (1 spool)

Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks (pre-heated)

1 Faux Diamond Embellishment

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

1.Form the Red Single Bow: Take the 1-inch wide, 6-inch long red patterned ribbon. Apply double-sided tape to both ends. Fold the ribbon in half to find the center line, then fold both ends towards the center and secure them with the tape near the center line. Using your fingers, pinch three pleats parallel to the ribbon's direction. Secure the middle tightly with elastic cotton thread, wrapping about 15 times, tying a knot, and cutting the excess thread. This completes your "red single bow."

2.Create the First Black Single Bow: Take the 0.3-inch wide, 4-inch long black ribbon. Pinch two pleats in the middle. Secure it tightly with elastic cotton thread, wrapping about 15 times, tying a knot, and cutting the thread. This creates your "black single bow."

3.Assemble the Main Bow Structure: Apply hot glue to the wrapped center of your red single bow. Position the black single bow over the red bow at a 30-degree angle, ensuring their wrapped centers align. Press firmly to secure.

4.Attach and Secure the Alligator Clip: First, apply a small amount of hot glue to the wrapped center of the assembled bows. Take the 0.3-inch wide, 2.5-inch long black ribbon. Wrap it from the top down, covering the middle section of the bows. Then, apply hot glue to the underside of the red bow and attach the top part of the metal alligator clip. Open the alligator clip, apply hot glue to both ends of the 2.5-inch black ribbon, and secure them to the back of the alligator clip, ensuring a neat finish and holding the clip in place.

5.Add the Dazzling Embellishment: Apply hot glue to the base of your faux diamond embellishment. Carefully position and press it onto the top-left corner of your finished bow for a sparkling accent.

Voila! Your stunning two-tone ribbon hair clip, a vibrant blend of red's passion and black's mystery, is now complete. This handcrafted piece is perfect for adding a unique and elegant touch to any outfit, truly embodying the spirit of our Passion Collection.
