Start my working out how far apart you need the clips to be to keep your cardigan closed and laying out all of your parts.
I decided to put a bow on each side then the heart dangle then alternate between pearls and crystals. It’s really important to use fairly heavy beads otherwise the clips won’t hang down in that cute arched way, they will just get pulled straight from the cardigan.
Now let’s make the beaded part. Using your thread secure it around the first bead (in this case the heart dangly).
Thread on all of your beads…
Tie it on to the other side too. I used jewellery wire for this one but I’ve used plain thread in the past too.
Now let’s take care of the clippy part. You can of course by these from a craft store but I have got an excess of old clip on earrings so I removed the bases of those to use. I cut out felt pieces to cover the front and back of the clips:
Then glued them on…
So that makes a pretty good base.
Now let’s put both of the pieces together! I glued the dangly heart bits on first:
Then added the bows over the top!
Now this is very important: when you put it together, before you glue everything make sure that the clips are pointing in the right direction! They should be facing opposite directions so they can be clipped to the cardigan like this:
It’s a good idea to lay everything out before you actually glue it.
All finished! Very quick and easy to make and a fun way to add some sparkle to a plain cardigan ^_^

This is a super cute idea, I think I’ll have to start wearing cardigans so I can make bow cardigan clips!

Great! I think I need you to bring me shopping one day. Not sure where to get these stuff?
Will do ^_^ Just get from Spotlight/Lincraft or bead stores!
Amazing! These have to be some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!

Aww thanks Eli!
Yeay for glue gun AGAIN! I think this is a fantastic idea as it would mean not leaving little puncture marks on the lovely cardi. In your hand I think there is no limit as to what Ms. Violet can do with a glue gun and clip earing.
