How to make butterfly hair clips with rhinestones?

Step 1: make a butterfly

1st, cut out a long strip of suede cord and roll three circles which each outer circle is about 2mm larger than the inner one;
2nd, tie three circles at the end with sewing thread as a wing of butterfly;
3rd, do the same to make the other wing of butterfly. Note that the direction of circles should be opposite;
4th, cut out a short strip of suede cord to link two wings together with covering the sewing threads for good looking. Cut excess cord with leaving two antennas.

Step 2: embellish the hair clip and butterfly

1st, cut out a strip of satin ribbon which is longer than the hair clip and glue it to cover the hair clip with wrapping both ends;
2nd, glue the butterfly to the hair clip with the head towards the direction of hair clip’s opening;
3rd, glue three rhinestones on the outermost circle of each wing and a rhinestone on each antenna.

Done!

My original intention of making butterfly hair clips is for little girls, but I found the result is also suitable to sweet young girls. If you want the butterfly hair clip to be more colorful, changing the color of rhinestones is a good way, even you can make each rhinestone in different colors.
