Scrap Ribbon Hair Clips

I am so bad about blogging! I get so involved with everything else and then I just cannot think of anything to blog about. Well, today I bring you what is my short tutorial about Scrap Ribbon Hair Clips. It's kind of an old favorite with a new name. 
When I first started selling Hair accessories I started with these cute ribbon flower hair clips that were a great favorite and then as I got into more hair accessories I faded them out. But, now their back, but few in number. 
I usually end up with enough ribbon at the end of a spool to make these. So, I had some extra ribbon laying around. You'll need about a yard or less. 
I sew it back and forth along the edge and then pull the thread as I'm sewing to form a circle. 
Then I sew it together and add a button or flat back. Then I add a clip and I'm done. I think it's a perfect way to use that leftover ribbon that you just don't know what to do with. And you can make these using smaller ribbon as well.

There are 2 ways you can do this: There's also the rolled way which used about 21 1/2 inches. depending on how much ribbon you have left. Let's face it with 21 inches I could still make a 3 inch bow! But, these were just so cute not to make. 
I made these just for Back To School.
