Instead of throwing away all of your old plastic bottles, takeout containers and mayo jars, upcycle them into an adorable DIY hair clip.

You can create any kind of design that your stylish kiddo might love…flowers, hearts or even her favorite gemstone. It’s easy to make a matching accessory for any outfit or special occasion.

These hair clips are sweet and fun and perfect for little ones over the age of three since they have small parts. You can also attach the hair clip to a headband. Have fun with it!
