Cut the barrette part off and slide a headband through the center loop. It won’t look perfect but it’s a work around.

Or better yet, put your hair up in some style that makes a bump on top of your head, like pigtails or a pony tail or bun. Then you can position the clip standing up in front of one of the tails and clipped to it. See pic related.
If you know of a print that came with the barrette as the only hair piece, look under the Instagram tags for that print to find ideas on how to wear a hair clip. Fancy Candy was a fairly popular one that just came with a hair clip (with the exception of the pink special set having a proper headbow) but there have been quite a few in recent years. Fancy Candy is the one that I think would have very good results because it’s generally being worn as an OTT sweet style so people try to use the clip more as they would a headbow. Other recent AP prints that have released with only a hair clip are less OTT sweet and you’re more likely to see people just wearing it as a barrette on the side of their head or with a beret, something low-key like that.
