Hickey007! That's exactly how I kept my daughter's barrettes when she was small [she had hair past her little butt!]! I had totally forgotten! That was 20+ years ago!

Thanks for refreshing my failing memory!
SoCalyorkiLvr ... thanks for the tip! I bought cute little clips and barretts for Toto and she got them out in about 30 seconds flat! I will try your method!
