Anyone who has had a baby girl has had someone, at some point, compliment her on her cute baby boy. Unless your darling is decked out in frills, lace, pink and/or hearts, it can be hard for people to immediately tell what gender your child is. But I didn’t always feel like dressing my daughter in everything girly, so sometimes I used a simple bow to give others a hint. Also, they’re so CUTE! 🙂

It can actually fit quite a number of clips!

I bought most of these clips off Amazon and had just piled them into a little box, but soon it got hard finding the exact color or design I wanted, so I decided to make a display of them using an IKEA frame and some ribbon! Not only does it look much nicer displayed like this, but it makes it a lot more convenient to pick out a color or style that works well for the day.

I’m not really that girly, and I don’t expect my daughter to be, but this was a super simple project that was both practical and looked nice. Why not? Also a fun way to display clips if you’re hosting a baby shower and hair clips are part of the baby shower crafting fun :).

Materials

Instructions

  1. Take out the glass and mat. Safely discard.
  2. Remove the back (but hang onto it) so you are left with just the frame. Use a hot glue gun and glue down the top and bottom edges of a strip of ribbon to the center of the inside edge of the frame, making sure the ribbon is taut. Trim off any excess ribbon.
  3. Repeat with the other two ribbons, spacing them equally on either side of the center ribbon. Be sure to leave some space on both sides so there is room for the clips.
  4. Let dry. Place frame backing back on so it can stand up, and then slide in your clips. Voila! All done!
