Homemade Hair Clips Ideas: Felt Flower DIY Hair Clips

As a working mom, I rarely have much time to spend on my hair. On a good day, I get about 10 minutes, so I’m always on the lookout for quick hair styles. In the past, I’ve been a fan of using DIY sea salt spray to get a tousled, beachy look. I also like to use hair clips as they’re quick, cute, and keep hair out of my face. Instead of spending a bunch of money on hair clips, I’ve been searching for homemade hair clips ideas. These DIY hair clips made from felt flowers are one of my favorite.

There are a lot of homemade hair clips ideas out there. (Pinterest alone is a treasure trove of inspiration). However, I’m particularly fond of these flower DIY hair clips because they’re so easy and inexpensive to make. I’m also a fan of their simplicity, which makes them easy to pair with a variety of styles.

Another thing I like about these DIY hair accessories for girls (or women) is that they can be made in any color you can find felt in, so your options are pretty varied.

Tip: These DIY hair clips make inexpensive and cute gifts. This homemade hair clips idea is pretty quick and easy to make and you’ll most likely have leftover felt after making yourself a flower clip, so consider making a few extra.

If you have a little princess in your life, I think you could put together a really adorable gift basket consisting of this DIY hair accessories for girls (1 or 2 felt flower clips), a “girly” brush, and a container of DIY hair dentangler.
