  • Barrette (alligator hair clip)
  • White, black, yellow, orange, and green felt
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue or school glue (for young crafters)

Get Started!

Begin by cutting two leaf shapes out of the green felt. Hot glue the two leaves on the barrette.

Next, cut a small oval (about 2 inches in diameter) out of the orange felt. Cut a smaller oval out of the yellow felt, and glue that oval on top of the orange one.

Next, cut a smaller oval out of the white felt and glue it on the yellow oval.

This part can be tricky, so young crafters may need the help of a grownup to cut the small shapes. Cut two small black ovals for the eyes, and glue them on the white oval.

Finally, cut two small white ovals for the top of the eyes, and glue them on. Your barrette is complete!
