Cut the strips of felt according to the sizes in the Notes.
Put the two white strips of felt on top of the colored strip and glue all of the layers together at one end.
Start to roll the felt toward the colored strip, so it ends up on the inside. Separate each layer, securing with little bits of hot glue as you go.
Keep rolling and gluing until the roll is about 1 inch across. The strips will be uneven at the end, and that's fine.
Cut off the excess, keeping the outermost white strip slightly longer than the other two strips. Give all three of the strips some final glue at the end. Keeping the outermost white strip a little longer makes it look more tapered instead of just stopping the swirl abruptly.
Use pinking shears to cut both short ends of the rectangle. If you don't have pinking shears, make some small zig-zag cuts with scissors.
Pinch the rectangle in the middle to make a bow shape and hot glue it together.
Hot glue the bow to the top of your clip. You can line the clip with some felt first, but I decided not to since it would be completely covered by the bow. Just be careful you don't glue the clip shut!
Glue the swirl to the top of the bow to finish. Let cool completely before wearing.
