    Do-It-Yourself Hair Accessories

    There are tons of fun ways to make your own hair accessories.

    You can find or make fabric flowers and use a hot glue gun to attach them to bobby pins or clips (ask an adult to help you with the glue at first). You can also sew fake flowers to a fabric scrunchie. Other small things that you can glue to bobby pins or clips are:

    • Dice
    • Ribbons
    • Beads
    • Charms
    • Small toys
    • Sequins or plastic rhinestones
    • Anything else that looks cool to you!

    Other ideas:
    • Paint hair clips or bobby pins with regular paint or nail polish.
    • Glue small objects to headbands or wrap colorful ribbon around the headband.
    • Make hair chopsticks by painting and adding glitter to ordinary (clean!) chopsticks for food. Once they're dry, add varnish and you're done!
