I don’t know if you’re a gal like me, but I have QUITE the collection of hair accessories. The right barrette or headband can be the perfect finishing touch to an outfit. I’ve been looking to add some more flair to my tresses (seriously, give me all the flair), so I grabbed some crafty supplies and went for it!
Supplies:
–Sculpey oven bake clay
–E6000 adhesive
–Mod Podge or craft glue
–fine glitter
–barrette blanks
–letter cookie cutters
-small rolling pin
Step One: To begin, roll out your clay onto a covered surface (I covered mine with wax paper). Begin cutting out your designs and baking the clay as the package suggests.
Step Two: Once your clay has been fully baked and cooled, cover the surface in Mod Podge or craft glue. Sprinkle on your glitter and let dry.
Step Three: When the glue has dried under the glitter, attach your clay letters and shapes to the barrette blanks with E6000. Once those are dry— VOILA! Pretty new barrettes to make your hair super fancy.
I love anything Valentine’s Day themed, but these are especially great because I can wear them year-round! Now, excuse me while I go make a ton more of these cuties! Happy crafting! –Katie

These are adorable, but I can’t help but think of the inevitable glitter cleanup you’ll have to perform after making and wearing them…
I suppose it’s worth it if it means looking cute for a day 😉
