Christmas Tree Hair Clip

Cut the following lengths from 3/8" grosgrain ribbon:
4 1/2"  brown for tree stump
4" red for mini bow
(3) 2"  green for 1st and 2nd tree rows
(3) 2"  white for 1st and 2nd tree rows
(7) 2 1/2" green for 3rd and 4th tree rows
(7) 2 1/2" white for 3rd and 4th tree rows
(5) 3" green for botton tree row
(5) 3" white for botton tree row
rhinestone for mini bow center
alligator clip
hot glue gun & lighter



 Cut all ribbons to above lengths. If you have a rotary cutter and mat this goes so much quicker than cutting with scissors. Heat seal ends with a lighter.


 Glue green and red tree limb ribbons together with a dab of hot glue on each end.

 After all tree limbs are glued together begin creating each row of tree limbs by creating awareness ribbons.
 Use 4 1/2" brown ribbon to line your alligator clip. Adhere bottom row of tree limbs to the lined clip.
 Slightly overlap tree limbs on either side of center piece.

 Assemble each row slightly overlapping each tree limb.

 Add hot glue to the top center of the bottom row then add the 4th row to the clip.
 Do the same for each row.

 Make mini bow and glue rhinestone to the center. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to create this type of bow.
