Hey everyone! Today I am going to show you how to take apart a French barrette.

You can find French barrettes at Hobby Lobby and they come in a pack with a pink label like in the picture above. They also come in many different sizes ranging from 1" to 4".

Above is a picture of the top view and the side view of the French barrette. Most hair bows come with these attached to them. They work best on girls with medium to thick hair.

Here is a picture of the bottom view. You will need to flip the barrette over so the bottom view is facing up.

Now you unclip the barrette as shown above.

Then you unhook it and lay that piece aside.

Finally, you take the arched piece out and lay that aside too. And there you go! You have just took apart a French barrette.

Now, to put it back together, you just follow these same steps in reverse.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
