You can learn to make many types of hair jewelry on your own.
Making hair jewelry can be a fun craft and creative outlet for adults and children alike. With enough experience, you'll be able to make any sort of hair jewelry of your choosing, such as beaded barrettes or rhinestone-studded tiaras. As homemade hair jewelry tends to be less expensive than store-bought pieces, this craft can save you money.
Craft Ideas
Hair jewelry crafts are an ideal activity for girls' birthday parties where each girl can design her own hairband, hair clips, or other hair jewelry. You can also make jewelry crafts as inexpensive and thoughtful gifts for friends and family on special occasions like Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, and weddings. You may even be able to sell your hair jewelry crafts as an additional income source at specialty shops and flea markets.
Materials
For hair jewelry crafts, you'll need a variety of materials and supplies. First, you'll need undecorated pieces, such as barrettes, combs, headbands and tiaras. Decorations include various types of beads, feathers, ribbons, rhinestones and seashells. You should also invest in a hot glue gun. You can purchase these supplies from crafts stores such as Michael's and Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts or through online crafts stores, such as Sunshine Discount Crafts or Factory Direct Craft. It's also a good idea to invest in an instructional book on hair jewelry crafts, such as Make Barrettes & More: 16 Projects for Creating Beautiful Hair Accessories, by Jo Moody.
