How to Easily Create Some Unique Pretty Hair Clips
I saw these little metal hair clips with cabochon blanks to fill with your own creations on line and thought it’s a good way to use up some flower decals that I had left over from another project. These are all easily and cheaply available on line to create your own unique look.
Often a look is needed for special occasions and I can see how these might be great for wedding bridesmaid hair styles or to create a pretty yet practical way to clip hair up or out of the way.
I use a two part epoxy glue that is ideal for jewellery making. It is messy and involves mixing part A and part B in equal blobs sizes until well mixed ready for applying to hair clip.
Once mixed I transfer a little to the metal dish and swirl it around the whole area ready for the rose decal to adhere to.
I also put a little glue around the base stem of rose decal.
It’s sits well into the little cup base on the hair clip. I repeat the same process for the other hair slide but use a different shade of pink rose to compliment.
I leave them to dry and harden in place.
Enjoyed the project?
