Walnut snap hair clip

Materials I arrived at after making over 100 pieces. Completely hand-sewn. How to make the fabric-covered snap hair clip you see on handmade sites. You can make it with small fabric scraps! Hair Accessories Tutorial

Here’s how to make covered snap hair clips that you can create even with small fabric scraps.

Since they’re handmade, you can match the clips to your clothes and style—so convenient! You’ll need snap hair clips, thin fabric scraps, felt, batting, and more.

Using no-iron adhesive sheets is recommended because they save effort and give a neat finish.

Place batting on a piece of fabric cut about 1 cm larger than the clip, stitch around the outside, pull to gather, and close it up.

From the back, whipstitch a piece of felt cut to the same size as the clip, and you’re done.

Felt coaster

[For First-Timers] Easy and Quick! Make Coasters with Felt Sheets

How about making felt coasters that even first-time crafters can create? Felt coasters are very handy because they absorb the condensation from cold drinks.

First, prepare three pieces of felt and place some cellophane tape on top to mark the outer edge.

After cutting out all three pieces, cut two of them in half.

It doesn’t have to be exactly in the middle—cut wherever you like.

Stitch the two cut pieces of felt together with a needle and thread.

It actually looks nicer if it’s not too neat.

Once they’re joined, apply glue to the remaining whole piece of felt, layer the stitched piece on top, and you’re done.
