For a DIY bride it’s the handmade details that make the big day even more special. Creating something you can wear down the aisle means creating a keepsake that you can enjoy for years to come. No matter what your bridal style may be, these hair clips are guaranteed to add a unique touch to your look.
I’ve created three easy to make clips that can all be completed in just three simple steps! No stressing over the little details here!
THE RUSTIC BLING
YOU WILL NEED:
A Barrette // Jute Ribbon // A Gem // Beads // Scissors // Wire Cutters (Optional) // Hot Glue Gun // Super Glue //
STEP 1:
Cut a piece of jute to fit your barrette. Then apply hot glue to the top of the barrette and place the jute so no metal is showing. Cut any excess jute off.
STEP 2:
Using more hot glue, add your gem to the center of your barrette!
Tip: If your gem is actually a button like mine was, you may need to use wire cutters to clip off the back before gluing it to your barrette.
STEP 3:
Add a small amount of super glue to the bottom of your beads and place them in a line on either side of your gem.
THE FLOWER POWER
You Will Need:
A Barrette // Faux Flowers & Leaves // Gray Felt // Scissors // Hot Glue Gun //
STEP 1:
Start by laying out a design for your flowers.
STEP 2:
Measure and cut out a piece of felt to fit your barrette. Use hot glue to secure the felt to the barrette.
STEP 3:
Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the flowers and leaves and place them on your barrette according to your design.
Tip: Try gluing your leaves down first, then work from the center of the clip outward. This makes arranging the flowers a lot easier.
Pop of Pearls
You Will Need:
A Barrette // Pearl Beads // Gray Felt // Scissors // Hot Glue Gun // Super Glue //
STEP 1:
Measure and cut out a piece of felt to fit your barrette. Use hot glue to secure the felt to the barrette.
STEP 2:
Apply a small amount of super glue to the bottom of each bead and on the felt.
STEP 3:
Arrange the beads how you’d like, making sure the holes don’t show.
Tip: Using tweezers to pick up and place the beads on the barrette makes the process a little easier.
I told you it would be no stress! Now you can walk down the aisle with a one-of-a-kind hair clip that will perfectly match your style. Wouldn’t these also be the cutest for your bridesmaids or flower girls to wear! Don’t forget to check out Paper Moon Collective for more awesome accessories! xxx
