Looking for a fancy hairpin that won’t cost you an arm and a leg? Instead of dropping big bucks on a designer clip at a retail store, make your own using industrial strength glue and gems from home
To pull away a few errant strands of hair you may only need a few regular bobby pins. However, if your hair is thick or you would like to secure an entire section of hair, you may need quite a few larger sized bobby pins
Are you looking to dress up an outfit or need something funky or unique to accent a new look? Your overall design plan will dictate your approach and what type of gems/accents you will need. Make sure not to over decorate. That could just make it look bad.
Before you look outside your home, dig through your jewelry box to identify loose pearls, faux jewels or other pieces of broken jewelry that could be repurposed for your project.
Head to the arts and craft closet at home because you may have the perfect accent piece hiding in a box or bag. Don’t discount anything until you have explored every possibility.
Consider what you can create from your loot. For example, you could glue three faux pearls and a faux diamond together to create a flower that could be affixed atop a bobby pin
