Craft: Clip on Braids
Sammy, age 13, from Australia shared this craft idea with Squigly.
What you need:
 |
A regular hair clip |
|
String, wool or yarn |
|
Glue |
|
Scissors |
|
Elastic band |
|
Beads (optional, but nice) |
What you do:
| 1. |
Take your string/wool/yarn and cut three pieces of it. You can make them
any length you want, and add 5cm extra, so you can tie it.
|
| 2. |
Tie the three pieces of string/wool/yarn together at one end and begin
braiding them.
|
| 3. |
When you have about 5cm left of the string/wool/yarn, put the beads on.
You can put as many beads as you like on, but I always put three.
|
| 4. |
After putting on the beads, take the elastic band and put it around the
end. Make sure it's firm, and make sure the beads won't slip over it.
|
| 5. |
Now get the hair clip, and put a dab of glue on the end. Get the braid
and press the end WITHOUT the beads onto the glue. |
| 6. |
Let dry, put it on and show off to all your friends! |
|
**Try this: Make 4 clip on braids and put 2 on each
side of your head. It looks really cool. You could also put some at the
back of your hair, in your pony tail!
