  • Cut off a 1 � inch piece ribbon that is a different color from the ribbon you were already using. Once the glue is dry, squeeze the hair clip so that it opens. Take the small piece of ribbon and place it in between the open hair clip. Place a drop of hot glue on the top of the bow and wrap the smaller ribbon around, pressing down when on the area with the hot glue. (see photo)
