DIY Canada Day Felt Maple Leaf Hair Clips

We are approaching Canada Day. Most of the time, Canadians can be quite reserved when it comes to showing our patriotic side. However, when Canada Day arrives, we are more than happy to share our love for our incredible country. Which is why I decided to make DIY Canada Day hair clips with felt maple leaves.

In the past we made a handprint Canada flag for our front door - we still hang it up every year. To show our pride, this year I decided to make another Canada Day craft for kids. We took inspiration from our past hair clip crafts and made adorable maple leaf Canada Day hair clips for the kids.

You only need a few supplies and our free printable maple leaf template to make this Canada Day craft. Once you've made the felt maple leaves, wear them with pride all year round.

Start by printing off the free printable felt maple leaf template. Cut out the three paper maple leaves.

Once the paper template is cut out, pin the leaves onto the red and white felt and cut them out. The largest and smallest leaves are to be cut from the red felt. The white felt is for the medium-sized leaf. You can switch up the colours if you like...whatever your kids want to make.

Now, it's time to do a little sewing. Sew the hair clip onto the largest red leaf. Depending on the hair clip you have, you will find the best way to secure the clip in place.

Once the hair clip is sewn onto the largest leaf, use the fabric glue to adhere the white leaf on top of the large leaf. And, finally, glue the small red leaf to the medium leaf. They will stack easily on top of each other.

Set the hair clip aside to dry. The glue should fully dry in about 12-24 hours.

Once the leaves are completely dry, have fun wearing your Canadian maple leaf proudly.
