How to Draw a Hair Clip
Draw a hair clip in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the clip shape.
Step 1: The clip shape
Draw a long triangle lying on its side: tall and rounded on the left, a small round tip on the right.
Tip Make it about twice as long as it is tall.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the wide end draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile, and a small flat oval cheek beside each end of the smile.
Step 4: The window
Start right of the face. Draw a smaller triangle the same shape. Stop just under your start, leaving a gap.
Tip Keep an even rim all the way round.
Step 5: The snap bar
Start at the top of the gap. Draw a thin finger pointing right. Stop at the bottom of the gap.
Step 6: Shine
Draw a short curve near the top left corner of the clip for a shine.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw 3 little sparkles in the air around the clip, each a star with 4 points.
Step 8: Yellow sparkles
Go over your lines. Colour the 3 sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Red cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks red, pressing softly.
Step 10: Pink clip
Colour the clip and its bar pink, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes and the gaps white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a hair clip, drawn by you.
