How to Make Colorful Ribbon Hair Clips for Little Girl

Seeing too many flower and bow hair clips, I decided to DIY some special. Although this ribbon hair clip also can be considered as a flower one, it’s an extraordinary one! I was inspired by the rainbow in a picture, and then made such a colorful hair clip with rainbow colored ribbons. The addition of tails is to make the ribbons dance in the wind for adding more fun.
