How to make Mikako Koda’s hair clip from Gokinjo Monogatari – tutorial

This tutorial is a homage to my favoite mangaka: Ai Yazawa, author of several successful manga like Nana, Kagen no Tsuki, Paradise Kiss and others. This hairclip is taken from the manga series Gokinjo Monogatari; the berry with wings – the Happy Berry – in the comic is the brand of a young fashion designer, Mikako Koda, which after a graduation in a design school takes her the first steps in the world of fashion!

To make this project you need:

– 1 snap hair clip with holes;

– pink felt;

– white felt;

– green felt;

– white felt;

– threads;

– scissors, pencil and pins;

Draw and cut the shape in felt. If you want, you can print or copy the pattern here qui. Wings and circle must be doubble.

Put wings between the 2 pink felt circles, baste and sew.

Sew the yellow spiral on the green leaf, then stitch the leaf on the berry. Now sew the berry on the hair clip!

Very easy, isn’t it? Here you are your super cute hair clip Happy Berry! With the same project you can realize also key rings, earrings and coin purses!
