  Step 1

  Trace around the hair clip onto card stock

  Cut about 1/4" around, larger than your tracing

  Your template should look something like this

• 

  Step 2

  Using your template, cut out 2 pieces from your felt

• 

  Step 3

  Take 1 of the felt pieces and doodle embroider your design leaving about 1/4" edge all around

  Put aside for a few

  Step 4

  Next...

  Place the hair clip on the remaining piece of felt

  Approximate where you'll be inserting the narrow piece (the unsnapped hair clip's bottom piece) through the felt

  Step 5

  Taking your scissors, snip a short slit like this...

• 

  Step 6

  With an unsnapped hair clip, insert the narrow piece through the slit you just snipped

• 

  Step 7

  Snap closed

  Step 8

  Place the 2 felt pieces together, one on top of the other- your embroidered piece RS facing out, the underside should look like this

  Step 9
