Revamped Hair Clips Akin to Barbie, Lending Zest to Any Wardrobe

===================================================================

In this article, we'll guide you through three unique DIY Barbie-inspired hair clip designs that are sure to make you stand out. From the classic Barbie Shoe Hair Clips to the retro-chic Retro Checkered Pattern Hair Clips, and the personalised Barbie Script Hair Clips, these projects are perfect for adding a touch of fun to your style.

Barbie Shoe Hair Clips

To create these fashionable accessories, you'll need a collection of Barbie doll shoes, large hair clips, and a hot glue gun. Simply arrange a single layer of shoes on a hair clip, interlocking them, and glue them in place. For a more filled-out look, you can add a second layer to fill in any gaps.

Retro Checkered Pattern Hair Clips

For those who love a bit of vintage flair, the Retro Checkered Pattern Hair Clips are the perfect choice. To make these, you'll need a hair clip, strips of washi tape, pink acrylic paint, and a clear plastic scrap from produce packaging. Arrange the washi tape on the hair clip in a grid pattern, paint a light layer of pink acrylic paint over the tape, and then remove the tape to create a checkered pattern. For an extra retro touch, consider painting hearts in amid the checkered pattern.

Barbie Script Hair Clips

To add a personalised touch to your hair clips, try the Barbie Script Hair Clips. You'll need printed names in a Barbie-style script using the Sangharia Font, available for free download from Da Font. Cut out the names and attach them to pink card stock using decoupage. Finally, attach the name plates to the hair clips using a hot glue gun.

A Note on the Sangharia Font

While the Sangharia Font is available for free download, it is only for personal use. Instructions for installing the font on a Mac and a Microsoft computer are provided.

Barbie Earrings and Bracelets

To complete your Barbie-inspired look, why not try making some matching earrings and bracelets? Attach extra Barbie shoes to earring hooks or glue shoes to earring posts for a pair of stylish earrings. For a Barbie bracelet, attach Barbie shoes to a strand of chain. Alternatively, you could turn the Barbie script name into a pendant necklace.

A Cute Gift Idea

These DIY Barbie-inspired hair clips make a cute gift for a group of best friends who aren't afraid to match. They're also the perfect accessory for any retro-themed get-together, '90s movie night, or pool party.
