Harry Potter Sorting Hat House Colors Hair Clip

September 5, 2018 by Albion

I can’t go too long without making some sort of Harry Potter craft, so of course I joined in with Marissa’s yearly Harry Potter extravaganza. It’s so fun to have friends who share the Harry Potter love and have super creative ideas. My girls recently discovered that they can be sorted by Alexa (Madeline had already been sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore) and they’re all in different houses. They had been asking me for something to show off each of their house colors, so I made them each a Harry Potter Sorting Hat House Colors Hair Clip.

Cut out your hats. The canvas that I linked for you has eight hats on it (two for each hair clip) because I made a clip for each house. If you only want to make one clip, you just need two hats.

Prepare your braid. I cut six 14″ lengths of thread for each braid–four red and two yellow for Gryffindor, four blue and two bronze for Ravenclaw, four green and two grey for Slytherin, and four yellow and two black for Hufflepuff. I used two lengths for each of the three pieces of braid (does that make sense??). Braid until you get near the bottom and then tie a small bit of thread around it and trim. (I used variegated thread for Gryffindor because I liked the look, but you can obviously use solid colors if you prefer.)

Stitch on the Sorting Hat’s face in the black thread. I honestly just winged this part–it’s basically two triangles and a frown. You can use a marker if you prefer. I outlined the shapes in thread and then filled them in.

Take the hat that doesn’t have the face and attach it to the hair clip. I stitched it on with the brown thread, but you can glue it if you prefer.

Put a dab of glue on the hat that is now attached to the hair clip and stick the top of the braid to it. The glue is just to secure it a bit more.

Put the face piece on top and stitch it together using the brown thread. Again, you can glue if you prefer.

The girls are chuffed with their new Harry Potter Sorting Hat House Colors Hair Clips, but I’m proudly wearing my Gryffindor colors, too. These are a super fun gift for the Harry Potter fan in your life.
