| Remove the tension spring from the underside of the hair clip. Set aside. |
 |
| Push the end of the paddle wire through the hole at the end of the clip |
 |
| Use needle nose pliers for twisting the ends of the wire together. |
 |
| Use wire cutters to trim any extra wire on one side, leaving the wire intact on the paddle. |
 |
| Start with a small bud. Here we choose mini-sweetheart roses, in a pale pink. Lay it across the clip. With the paddle to the right side |
 |
| Holding the flower with your left hand, use your right hand to wrap the paddle wire around the stem of the flower (for those who are left-handed, switch hands). Pull tautly. If it needs more security, wrap the wire around the stem twice. |
 |
| Add another flower, alternating the flowers. Start by laying this flower to the right side of the first flower. |
 |
| Repeat the wiring process, wrapping the wire around the stem tautly once or twice. |
 |
| Add small leaves or filler, and continue to wire in the same manner |
 |
| Continue to add flowers, alternating the flowers from left to right. Try keeping the flowers on the same plane, in a line along the clip. Alternating them will add dimension to the clip. |
 |
| Continue wiring in the same manner. The closer and tighter together that the flowers are wired onto the clip, the more professional the clip will look when completed. |
 |
| When reaching the end of the clip (within one flower's width), lay a leaf, flower, or filler down in the opposite direction. Wire the stem in the same manner. |
 |
| Pull off a long piece of wire, and cut from the paddle. |
 |
| Push the end of the wire through the hole in the end of the clip |
 |
| Loop the end of the wire and then push the end through, into the loop, as if tying the wire into a knot. |
 |
| Use the needle-nose pliers to help twist and tighten the knot |
 |
| Clip the excess wire from the clip. |
 |
| Replace the tension spring |
