Adding sparkle to an existing hair clip can change the appearance dramatically.
Hair fashion is everywhere you look in today's trendy world. From TV shows to walking down the street, hair accessories are in high demand. Usually with a high demand comes a high price. If you're looking to make a statement with hair accessories, try creating one yourself. It is fairly simple, take minimal time and have a high impact on your personal fashion. Creating a glitzy hair accessory not only saves you money, but it also allows you to show your creative side.
Instructions
1. Hot glue guns make attaching gems an easy job.
Plug in the hot glue gun and lay on a flat surface. The glue needs to be hot enough to attach items to the headband or other accessory.
2. Accent bobby pins with sequins for subtle hair accessories.
Pick the base of your hair accessory for the foundation of your glitz. A wide headband will support larger rhinestones or several smaller rhinestones and gems. Bobby pins and hair clips are good foundations for smaller gems and sequins.
3. Use a variety of gems and stones to create a glistening hair accessory.
Start by using the glue gun to apply a small amount of glue to the back of a rhinestone or gem. The glue should be centered in the middle of the gem so that when pressed onto the accessory, it does not squeeze out the sides. Once the glue is applied to the rhinestone or gem it should be immediately placed onto the accessory before the glue hardens. If the glue hardens before you place it on the accessory, it will need to be scraped off and reapplied.
4. Create a beautiful accessory for a special occasion.
Work your way around the hair accessory until it is filled with glitz. Get creative with your placement of stones or sequins. Create a pattern or focal point of the hair accessory.
