Making barrettes can be a fun craft for all ages. This article discusses how to create barrettes.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Hair clips, hot glue gun, artificial flowers, jewelry crystals and/or stones

    Creating Barrettes

  1. Step 1

    First, choose the metal hair clip you would like to use. Next, select the decorative pieces you want to utilize for your hair clip. You may want to use just artificial flowers, just jewelry crystals, or a combination of both.

  2. Step 2

    Lay out the items that will be attached to the metal hair clip. Be sure to have a balanced clip so that it will not incur too much weight on one side.

  3. Step 3

    With the hot glue gun, affix the pieces to be attached. Be sure to turn the metal hair clip over to apply additional glue underneath.

  4. Step 4

    Set the hair clip aside and allow to dry. Once the hot glue has dried, it is best to reapply a light layer of hot glue to ensure adequate adhesion.
