Sara from the Craftsnob blog was inspired to make modern versions of 80's style ribbon barrettes. Different colors, sewing on crystals are a couple of ways to jazz up this inspired hair jewelry tutorial. Covering the metal barrettes will probably stop them from snagging hair too. Via
Covering alligator style hair clips with ribbon as The Paperseed did makes them suitable for babies as well. Older wearers can have embellishments as well as it won't be a choking hazard for them. Get the tutorial here.

Glow-in-the-dark embroidery floss ? Guess it's been too long since I've done any cross stitching or embroidery as it is news to me. Not sure why I'd ever need it but one never knows.
ReplyDeleteThe clips and bobbypins are sweet but I usually wear my hair short ... it's just so much easier to maintain that way and in Florida's heat and humidity, the shorter the better. However I stop short of shaving my head though I'd sure that would feel really cool and would be very easy to care for. =O
Oops it's not "I'd sure" I meant "I'm sure" ... guess I need to have my fingers recalibrated or maybe the problem is with my thumbs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring my blog post on hair pins.
ReplyDeleteAnd we thank YOU for taking the time to share the tutorial, Debbie!
