How To Make A Pumpkin Hair Clip
I started out by cutting a pumpkin shape out of orange felt. For the stem I used a little brown piece of felt.
I then embroidered on some little details, but if you're not into sewing you could just use little pieces of black felt to create a jack-o-lantern face and glue it on with fabric glue.
I did a little running stitch around the outside. Then I tied French knots for the eyes, and did a little embroidered mouth. Simple, and so cute.
For the pumpkin vine I used a little curled green ribbon.
To make the curls, wrap the ribbon around a dowel -I used a wooden spoon since that's what I had on hand. Secure with cloths pins or anything oven safe, and bake in your oven at 250 degrees for 25 min. Let cool then unravel.
I used a little hot glue to attach the ribbon and the pumpkin to the hair clip.
All set for a little fall frolicking on a warm day. And, perfect for keeping your hair out of your face while you do important kid stuff, like playing on the monkey bars. 😉
Life is a party, and you'll be the best dressed one there with pretty accessories like a pumpkin hair clip. 😉 Happy Fall.

These are very cute! Love making hair clips for my daughter, although she is more of a headband kind of girl lately! I haven't tried to curl ribbon yet in the oven, I think she would love that look though so will have to give it a try!
