Clippety-Clips

The BB kids go to a small, community school here in Canberra. We have our annual Spring Fair looming, and I have been making things for the craft stall.

I am working on some fabric board games, namely checkers and chess, as well as some knight's tabbards for dress-ups. These are fiddly and taking f o r e v e r... however the hair clips I have been inspired to make have been whipped up lickety split.


I have attached them all to cards to make them easier to display and am quite happy with them, especially as I have never done these sorts of things before. I hope that the glue I chose holds though - nothing worse than crappy adhesive.


These may very well become presents or party-craft for next year. They will definitely make the booklet though as they are very effective.


The packing is going slowly as well, but with 10 days to go until we move, I should be further ahead....

Crafting is keeping me sane in the meantime though!

The little clippies are fab - they're slways really popular at markets so they should do really well.
Good luck with the packing - that's the worst job ever.
