Fashionable Hair pins



I love hair pins.  For both adults and children.  Here's a quick way to make inexpensive fashionable hairpins for you, your child, or just to give away as a fun, easy gift.

Materials:
Brads/Cute embellishments
Decorative bobby pins
Felt
Paint
Paint brush
Needle nose pliers
Wire cutters
Hot glue gun
Scissors

Instructions:



Select the brad for your hairpin.  Trim the metal tacks on the back of the brads and flatten the remaining pieces.



Cut a small circle of felt.  Insert between the hairpin.  Place some hot glue on the felt.



Place the flattened brad onto the hot blue and press, holding securely for a second or two.  Let dry. 

Adorable hairpins!
