Kawaii means cuteness in Japanese culture (literally, adorable, precious, lovable, or innocent). So, in honor of that today we are going to make a Hair Clip that is totally Kawaii.  The craft is an easy one, but the outcome is a hair clip that you will love to wear.  Made from a piece of leather, a hair clip and a couple of other materials you’ll have this craft put together in no time.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.

Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will show you this tutorial step-by-step.
