How to Make Peace Sign Accessories

The peace sign is a universally recognized symbol of the beauty and hope that peace represents. It is loved by many, and it is needed in times of peace and war. Reminding others of the dream of peace is a wonderful thing, and wearing jewelry and accessories with the peace sign on them can be a great passing statement. Here's how you can make peace sign accessories.

Things You'll Need

• Peace sign ornaments (all different sizes)
• Plain hemp belt
• Safety pins
• Bobby pins
• Strong fabric glue
• Headband
• Chain or string
• Old newspaper

Instructions

1. Choose a headband that matches your peace sign. A black headband with a silver peace sign is recommended, but any variation will do nicely. Get some super glue, and place the glue on the back of the peace sign. Place the peace sign firmly on the side of your headband. Hold it in place for a minute, and leave it on newspaper to dry.

2. Make a belt of peace. In order to keep a peaceful theme, try going for hemp over leather for this belt. Using the fabric glue, attach the peace sign directly to the belt. According to your fashion preferences, you can place the peace sign directly at the center. For a more funky design, consider placing peace signs all around the belt.

3. Place strong glue on the back of your peace sign, and place a safety pin on the glue. Hold the two together, and let dry. Now you have a peace pendant. You can use it on your shirt, sweater or collar. You are making a peaceful statement in any outfit.

4. Get a string or chain, and slide a peace sign down it. Tie the string, or latch the chain. You instantly have a peace sign necklace that is fashionable, fun and political all at once. It's a definite conversation starter. For a last minute necklace on the go, you can make this quickly.

5. Glue a peace sign to the rounded tip of a bobby pin. This makes a fantastic accessory in your hair, and completes an elegant look for going out. You can also wear the clip with jeans and a t-shirt for a funky, hippy vibe.

Tips & Warnings

• Practice what you preach. If you are quick to anger, wearing a peace sign will give people a good reason to laugh at you.

• Don't leave any accessories around babies or young children. Some peace signs could fall off and become a choking hazard.
