Make your next hairstyle special with a customized Bobby Pin
Do your up dos need something special? Why not make this beaded bobby pin to add something amazing to your hair styling.
You will need the following tools and materials to decorate your bobby pin:
1: Cutting pliers for cutting the wire.
2: Pieces of thin wire cut to approximately 15cm long. You can cut as many as you like.
3: A Bobby Pin.
4: Beads of your choice. I used these plastic beads.
5: Water based glue. I used Mod Podge.
6: A Skewer.
Follow these steps to decorate your bobby pin:
1: Put a piece of wire between both sides of the bobby pin, up near the bent part of the pin.
2: Wrap the piece of wire around the top of the pin where it bends over.
3: Add more pieces of wire in the same way. Add as many as you like depending on how many beads you want clustered on your bobby pin.
4: Add a bead to one of the ends of the wire.
5: Wrap the wire around the bead so that it sits close to the pin.
6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the pieces of wire have been beaded and you have formed a cluster of beads on the bobby pin.
7: Add some PVA glue to the ends of the wire to secure the beads in place.
Once the glue is dry your bobby pin is finished and ready to wear!
