In the morning rush to catch the bus on time, many young girls scramble to find just the right matching hair accessory. Help organize young girls’ hair clips and barrettes with a simple craft. Girls will take pride in their homemade clippie organizer and, therefore, be motivated to use the organizer to keep their clips in one organized location. School mornings will move along more smoothly with one less item to hunt for.
Cut 30 strands of yarn to a length of about 2 1/2 feet. Bunch one end of the yarn strands together and bind them with a small piece of yarn wrapped around the strands and tied in a knot. Tape the bound end to the edge of a table with masking tape. Divide the dangling yarn strands into three sections of 10 yarn strands each. Braid the yarn strands beginning at the tape and working down to 1 inch from the bottom. Bind the bottom of the braid with another small piece of yarn wrapped around the braid and tied in a knot.
Place the powder puff on a work surface with the puffy side up. Glue googly eyes on the powder puff to create a face. Add a smile and rosy cheeks with permanent marker. Fold the braid in half to locate the center point. Glue the center 3 inches of the braid to the top of the powder puff face. Allow 15 minutes for the glue to dry.
Tie a small bow with 6 inches of grosgrain ribbon. Glue the ribbon to the center of the yarn braid to conceal where the hair part would be on the powder puff head. Tie two bows on the bottom of each braid's end. Thread a needle with embroidery floss. Stitch a small loop in the back of the powder puff to hang the organizer on a wall. Clip barrettes and hair bows on the clippy organizer braids.
