Tutorial: Shamrock hair clip
Lauren from Molly and Mama shows how you can make this pretty shamrock hair clip for St. Patrick’s Day. The leaves of the felt shamrock are gathered and layered over a large fabric yo-yo, with a covered button in the center. She shows it on a hair clip but you could also put this on a headband.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Thanks so much for sharing my tutorial Anne. Stay tuned for a shamrock pin cushion tute coming this week to Molly and Mama too!
Very pretty, however Shamrocks have three leaves, what you have there is a four leaf clover. (An Irish Person)
