Spice Up your UpDo!

Calling all DIY and hair enthusiasts! 

Here is a great way to turn a drab up-do into a fab hair creation!

All you need is a pack of bobbi pins, some craft-store necklace pearls (various sizes) and thin craft wire. 

The picture above shows you exactly how to make these cute hair accessories, but I'll share with you some of my tricks too! 

First, I would spray the end of the bobbi pin you're using with a bit of hairspray to give it a little stick. Then, pick the desired size pearl and thread about 4 inches of wire through the hole. Thread the bobbi pin with the same wire that the pearl is attached and begin to wrap the wire through the bobbi pin tightly. Continue wrapping tight until you feel that the pearl is secure in place and cut off the excess wire. Spray it once more with hairspray and let it sit for a while for the hairspray to set into all the cracks. VOILA, you have made your first fashionista Pearl-Bobbi! 

You can also do this with any other type of bead you like, but I usually stick with the pearls. Always a classic and they match with almost everything!

Hope this was helpful! 

Stay Crafty! XOXO
