How to Create Hair Barrettes

Use Stickers to Make Hair Barrettes.

If you're searching for a new hair accessory to coordinate with your outfit, you can make your own hair barrettes with a few items from around the house. Making hair barrettes is a fun project for you to do with your children, and they will be more excited to wear something that they are able to make themselves. You can draw your own designs on a piece of paper or use stickers to create a color-coordinated barrette for every outfit.

Things You'll Need

• Piece of paper and markers or small stickers
• Clear packing tape
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Metal snap barrettes

Instructions

1. Place a small sticker on a piece of paper. You can also draw directly on the paper with markers to create an original design. Place a piece of clear packing tape over the entire sticker or design. Flip the paper over and place a piece of clear packing tape over the back of the sticker or design. Cut out the sticker or design with scissors.

2. Plug in the hot glue gun and place a small dot on the back of the sticker or design.

3. Place the sticker on top of a metal snap hair barrette. You can purchase metal barrettes at your local drugstore, grocery store or beauty supply store.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have access to a laminating machine, you can laminate the stickers instead of using packing tape.

• Keep hot glue and scissors out of the reach of young children.
