Colorful Hair Clips

Why

These color clips are so real, they're hair-raising. They make great gifts and party favors.

Steps

1. Protect your work area with recycled newspaper.

2. Pick out the Crayola® Crayons and ask an adult to glue them onto plain metal hair clips or plastic combs. Open the clip and place it on the newspaper.

3. Ask an adult to plug in a hot glue gun and load it with a glue stick. Glue guns can get very hot.

4. Have an adult attach the crayons to the hair clip with the hot glue gun. Cool the hair clip completely before handling.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
