How to make Baby Snap clips

I had a request to show / tell how to cover baby snap clips, so for those that are adventurous enough to try here it is.

You will need the normal supplies lighter, scissors, measure and hot glue gun.  You need approximately 2.5" or 6.5cm of ribbon I prefer just to use it off the roll.

You will need plain baby snap clips these vary in size from 26mm to 32mm in length and are 9mm wide which means that they fit perfectly into 3/8" ribbon (that's 9 or 10mm ribbon depending on make)

First heat seal end of ribbon and then slide it into the open clip if using a printed ribbon the print should be to the back of the clip

Close clip this will hold the ribbon in place while working.  You must make sure that the ribbon edges are in line with the edges of the clip

Now for the glue

ONLY place glue on the metal clip.

Quickly fold ribbon over the top of glue lining up edges and pressing down.  Glue will come out the sides of the ribbon but don't worry

Run lighter along the edges of ribbon this will remelt the glue and allow you to wipe off the edge with your finger

Cut off the ribbon and heat seal end.  Allow enough ribbon so that it will just overlap the ribbon under the prong. Glue in place.

Now clip is complete :)

These clips can be decorated with rhinestones and Gems
