For next to nothing, you can make a gorgeous hair pin! These work best when placed in an up-do or bun. They only take a few minutes and look so pretty in your hair. Give them as gifts, wear them yourself, sell them. Bet you can't make just one! :)
Total Time: 10 minutes
Source: Saw these for sale online and decided to make my own. :)
Supplies:
- long nosed pliers
- wire cutters
- bobby pin
- large bead
