Blingy Barbie Witch Hats from Dollar Tree Hair Clips

Here's an idea that's much easier than the one I tried last year... I love these Blingy Barbie Witch Hats from Dollar Tree Hair Clips! They're fun with the colored feathers and some silver tinsel and it couldn't be easier to turn the hair clip into a doll hat! Even better, you get three for $1. If you don't want to alter the clips you can always just slide the clip through the doll's hair (as I did with the purple one), but the idea here is to make a hat and I think any girl old enough to use scissors can do this project for herself.
I think The Girls look especially pretty with these fancy hats on... Not very witchy at all...
Actually, I kinda want one myself:@)
These clips would make cute ornaments for a Halloween tree too.
Update: In looking around the livingroom I found an owl vase that looks great sporting a hat too:@)

To make a witch hat from hair clip:
  1. The clip is held on by two dots of glue, carefully pull the glue/clip off of the felt. 
  2. You'll see that the clip goes through a couple holes in the bottom of the hat, slide the clip out. Cut the slit open further, you'll need to make it as long as you can to fit over Barbie's head. 
  3. Poke your finger up through the slit to puff out the top of the hat, gently stuff some cotton ball or batting into it.
  4. Dress your doll in something Halloween-y and smile.
