Barbie-style Hair Clips Infuse Vivid Energy into Any Ensemble

In the world of DIY crafts, a new trend is taking centre stage - retro-inspired Barbie hair clips. This tutorial offers three unique designs that are perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to any outfit, whether you're heading to a pool party, '90s movie night, or a retro-themed get-together.

The designs in question are the Barbie Shoe Hair Clips, Barbie Script Hair Clips, and the star of the show, the Retro Checkered Hair Clips. Each design is highly customizable, ensuring no two creations will be exactly alike.

To begin, let's delve into the Retro Checkered Hair Clips. For this project, you'll need Washi tape, hair clips, hot pink acrylic paint, paintbrushes, and decoupage. Start by applying strips of Washi tape to your hair clips in a grid pattern, creating squares. Next, apply a light layer of pink acrylic paint over the tape, allowing it to dry for 20 to 30 minutes. Once dry, carefully remove the Washi tape, revealing your checkered pattern. For an extra retro touch, paint small hearts in amid the checkered pattern.

Moving on to the Barbie Shoe Hair Clips, this design requires Barbie doll shoes, large hair clips, and a hot glue gun. Simply glue the shoes onto the hair clips, and voila! A fun and fashionable accessory is born.

Lastly, the Barbie Script Hair Clips. Users should download the Sangharia Font from Da Font, install it on their computer, and use it to type and print the names of their choice on a sheet of white card stock. Cut out these names, then glue them onto pink card stock using decoupage. Add clear plastic scraps from produce packaging to the back of the card stock for a shimmering effect, and attach these to your hair clips using a hot glue gun.

It's worth noting that the search results do not contain information about the artist behind the designs of the DIY Barbie hair clip tutorials.

When it comes to sourcing materials, users are advised to check Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, or the dollar store for Barbie doll shoes and accessories if they don't have any of their own.

A tip for using Washi tape is to use tape that doesn't have a strong adhesive, as it will be easier to remove once the paint is dry.

So, grab your paintbrushes, Washi tape, and hot glue gun, and get ready to create some unique and stylish Barbie-inspired hair clips that are sure to turn heads!
