Abbie Post

Hi Oops Readers! Hope you had a great holiday season. It was so fun to go home and see Erika! I had the best intentions of getting a picture of us together, but...I forgot. Oops :).

It was time to bring out all the warm clothes and my baby girl needed some clippies to go with her winter wardrobe:


So, I'm a visual learner. Maybe you are too? Here is my very first step-by-step picture instructions for my daughter's clippies (and maybe you might see me wearing one too).

All the material you'll need + grab the tip of the ribbon and loop it like so.

Loop is again to overlap the other loop and stitch it +
sew on the buttons and cut the ribbon to size.
(I love to stack two buttons for extra color)

Cut a bit of ribbon to cover the end of the clip and glue it on +
glue it all together.
Done!

I like these best for keeping that hair out of her cute face.
I also put it in backwards so you can actually see the buttons.
Super easy.
