💡 DIY #1: Embroidered Bow Hair Clip

1. Cut the Trim

Cut a 25–30cm length of embroidered trim (adjust depending on desired bow size).

2. Form the Bow

Fold both ends toward the center, overlapping slightly. Pinch the middle and wrap a small piece of trim around it to form a bow shape.

3. Secure It

Stitch or glue the center piece in place. Then attach the bow to the alligator clip using hot glue or by stitching through a felt backing.

4. Finishing Touches

Add a pearl or tiny charm to the center for extra flair!

💡 DIY #2: Floral Headband for a Romantic Look

1. Measure & Cut

Wrap your trim around the headband base to measure the length needed. Cut accordingly.

2. Attach the Trim

Use a hot glue gun to attach the trim neatly along the top of the headband. Make sure edges are secure.

3. Optional Embellishment

For a fairy-tale finish, sew tiny beads or crystals along the flower motifs.

1. Cut Small Pieces

Use 6–8cm snippets of trim to make small accents.

3. Glue to Hair Clip

Secure to a plain clip and let dry. Perfect for tucking into a low bun or side braid!
