Make It Monday-Felt Hair Clips for 18" Dolls

Daydream Doll Boutique- Make It Monday

Let’s Make Felt Hair Clips For Our Dolls

Today I wanted to share with you an easy and fun way to dress up dollar store hair clips for your dolls hair. This very simple sewing project is a great way to introduce hand sewing to even the youngest novice.

To create a Felt Hair Clip for your doll you will need:

-Felt in a color you like

-A small metal hair clip, I got mine at the Dollar Store

-A small button

-A needle

-Thread

-Scissors

-Your Doll

Step 1- Cut out the shape you would like for your hair clip. (I cut out a heart but you could cut out a star)

Step 2- Thread your needle .Make a double knot at the end of your thread

Step 3- Place your button on the center of your shape

Step 4- Open your hair clip

Step 5- Secure your Felt shape and button to the hair clip as shown

Step 6- When you feel you have enough stitches, make a knot in your stitches and trim

Step 7- Put the hair clip in your dolls hair and enjoy. You can repeat all these steps on your remaining hair clips.

Inspired by Pinterest- Old Dresser-New Doll Closet

So one thing I love to do is roam around Pinterest looking for fun ideas, and there are plenty. But how many of these pins are actually worth our time ? Well I am going to find out . Our Inspired by Pinterest will now be a regular feature on our blog.

We are going to feature the best pins for creative American Girl 18" Doll creative ideas and bring them to you here. So let's all get inspired..

 The first pin I wanted to share was this really creative bookshelf or old dresser doll closet. I have seen so many bookshelves and old dressers at garage sales for $5-$10.  So not only is this functional but very cost effective. I also love that they used tensions rods to hang the clothes on. So easy, no hammering or extra building.

 And what little girl would not want a doll closet this big. It's also an easy way for them to see what they have. My daughter has all her doll clothes stuffed in drawers right now and I can never remember what clothes she has. I really love this idea and I hope you do too.  :)

P.S. I am going to look for a bookshelf or old dresser this summer at garage sales and give this a try. 

I will post it when I am done.
