I am not the most talented when it comes to actually making hair things. But there are a few things that I can do that are easy and I thought I would share them with you!
A couple posts ago I posted
this hair-do! I added these decorative bobby pins that I had made myself. I really loved how they turned out and they were easy
AND fast to make.
You will need a glue gun, a skinny piece of ribbon, a few bobby pins, and some embellishments of your choice (
Jolene from Dip Diddly designs gave me mine from Ben Franklin's Craft store) but you can find these sort of things anywhere.
Take your embellishment and add a small strip of hot glue to the back of the embellishment.
Next, take your bobby pin and push it into the hot glue and hold it there for a few seconds.
After it is attached to the back, spread open the bobby pin.
Cut a small piece of ribbon that is not quite as wide as the embellishment. Add another small dollop of glue over the bobby pin and then slide the piece of ribbon up and over the hot glue. Push it onto the back of the embellishment. That should complete your decorative bobby pin.
I only did 3 because that is how many I needed for the hair-do I was using them for.
I added them to her hair, which looked beautiful! So if you are like me and not that good at making hair things, this should be a simple project that you can actually do! My daughter loved helping me make these! Look forward to a few more EASY hair related craft ideas in the future!!! Also if you live in Utah like I do...Happy 24th of July! Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday with your families!

These look adorable (and also cheap to make - yay! More for me!). I love your hair do's, all so pretty and creative and the grips add to your site. I've been looking on blogs for how to make hair bows, got the hang of it on pieces from gift wrapping, then went to buy proper, pretty riboon. Typical Britain; there was none! Anywhere! lol
