Think Pink: Welcome to February!

February is my most absolute favorite month, for many reasons.

It could be because of my birthday... (Feb 5th) ;)

It could be because of Valentine's Day. (Despite the over-commercialization of the holiday, I still enjoy making/buying cards and creating some yummy treats for the Hubby and the Munchkin).

For whatever reason, I've always had a special place in my heart for this special 28-day month. I'm not a girly-girl by any stretch of the imagination, but when this month rolls around I reach towards more pink things than usual. So without further ado, here is something "pink" to start of February!

Crochet Heart Hair Clips

Materials:
Small amount of Yarn (Medium Weight)
Crochet Hook (G)
Felt Heart Cut-out (optional)
2" Alligator Hair Clips (2)
Ribbon (10 inches)
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Part 1: Crocheted Hearts

Chain 4. In the first chain, work 3 tr (triple crochet). In same stitch, work 3 d  (double crochet), ch 1, 1 tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr. Ch 3, and slip stitch into the center and fasten off. Knot the two yarn ends together and trim to 1/4 in. Repeat for second heart.

Part 2: Assembling the Hair Clip

• Cut ribbon into two strips 4 3/4 in each. Hot glue the ribbon onto each hair clip. (Great video tutorial here!) 
• Hot glue felt heart to the front center of the crocheted heart. (This is a great way to cover up the "hole" created by crocheting each stitch into one chain.)
• Hot glue crocheted heart to the alligator clip. **If making two to use as a pair, make sure to "flip" one of them the other direction so they will work on both sides of a hairdo.

These only take about 20 minutes to make a pair, and the color combinations are endless! 

If you don't have the time or skills to make them yourself, be sure to check out my Etsy shop and send a custom order!
