Clips
for Every
Day…
and ways to wear them

Want to wear your dress clips like a brooch, anywhere on your clothing you
would like to? Try this tip!
Step 1: Get a long safety pin, based on the length of the clip back.

Step 2: Pin it on the reverse side of the garment where you
want the clip to be.

Step 3: Turn the fabric to the right side again and slide the dress
clip through the exposed portion of the safety pin.

Step 4: Close down the clip over the exposed bar of the safety pin so
that it is safely suspended from the safety pin, and there you have it!
