Materials: 
1. Rectangular Alligator Pinch Clips (Can also use rectangular snap clips)
2. Scissors
3. Fillet Tape (or another form of adhesive)
4. 3/8" Ribbon (Velvet ribbon is used for this tutorial)
Step by Step Instructions:
1. While holding the clip upside down, open the clip and stick the end of the fillet tape on the bottom of the top of the clip so that you are able to line the top of the clip. Close the clip.
2. Take the fillet tape and wrap it around to the top of the clip. If you mess up you can slowly peel it off and re-line it as it takes 24 hours for the tape to be made permanent. Then cut the remaining fillet tape leaving about a 1/4" to wrap under the pinch part of the clip.
3. Cut the remaining fillet tape, leaving about 1/4" to wrap under the clip. Wrap the remaing fillet tape under the clip.
4. Starting where you began lining the clip with the fillet tape, begin peeling the backing of the tape to expose the other sticky side. Do not peel off all of it. Only peel enough to make the end of the ribbon stick to the bottom of the clip (where you began lining the clip with the tape).
5. Once the ribbon is placed in the clip, peel the rest of the backing off of the tape. You can now line the clip with the ribbon by sticking it to the fillet tape.
6. Cut the remaining ribbon leaving approximately 1/4" to wrap under the clip. You may want to place a dab of hot glue or fabric glue at the end of the ribbon before sticking the remaining 1/4" under the clip. This is will make sure that the end of the ribbon does not unstick before the fillet tape is permanent. There is not need for the glue at the beginning as the clip will hold it in place.
7. You can now embellish the lined clip with appliques, flatbacks, rosettes, or flowers.
8. For gift ideas, you can clip the made clips to a display card. You can even place the card into an organza bag. These are great for party, wedding, and baby shower favors!
