How to Make Hair Accessories
Hair accessories are a way to accessorize your to compliment any outfit or just add a little flair to a boring hair do. As a beginner learning to create hair accessories you will not need many materials. You just need a little creativity and a hot glue gun to get the job done.
Items Needed:
- Artificial flowers
- Needle
- Thread
- Embellishments
- Barrette
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Plug in the hot glue gun and set aside. The glue gun will be used later in several of the proceeding steps.
- Remove the stem from the flowers using scissors. Cut the stem as close to the base of the flower as possible, without damaging the flower or the flower falling apart.
- Glue a flower or several flowers onto the top of the barrette using the hot glue gun. If you wish to only use one flower on your barrette or hair clip, choose larger flowers. If you are using several flowers to cover the hair barrette or clip, choose several small or medium sized flowers to place on the top of the hair barrette or mix small and medium flowers together on the barrette to add some dimension to barrette you are creating. Choose flowers in colors and hues that will match particular items in your wardrobe or choose a combination of different white flowers so you can match any outfit you wear.
- Glue or sew embellishments, such as sequins, beads or ribbons to the top of the barrette. This works best to cover places on a barrette that are showing if you chose to only use one flower on the top of your hair clip.
- Allow the hair barrette to dry over night.
- Place in your hair to dress up a boring outfit or boring up-do in your hair.
