Do your barrettes need something more? Make this cute hair clip with a beaded chain feature.
I think that this hairclip design is so cute! It features sparkly charms and an awesome dangling chain that will loop elegantly across your hair.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your beaded chain hairclip:
1: Pliers. You’ll need your flat nose and round nose pliers.
2: A hairclip finding with holes in either side.
3: Two large jump rings.
4: Eye pins, I didn’t use as many as are pictured here.
5: A selection of beads. I used these mixed glass beads.
6: A selection of glue on charms. I used this mix of resin charms and rhinestones. I didn’t use all of these either.
7: Two part epoxy glue. I used Araldite glue.
8: A scrap piece of paper for mixing the glue.
9: A skewer.
Follow these steps to make your sparkling chain hair clip:
1: Add beads to the eye pins and attach them together by forming loops using the round nose pliers.
2: Once your chain is at your preferred length attach it to the hairclip using the two large jump rings.
3: Squeeze out the glue in equal parts and mix it using the skewer.
4: Add the glue to the hairclip using the skewer.
5: Add the charms to the hairclip. Here’s a tip, I used some blue tack to keep the hairclip and charms in place while the glue was drying.
Once your hairclip is dry it is ready to wear! So cute and trendy.
Here is another one I made using shells and some rose quartz beads.
