Today I’m so glad to share with you a gorgeous little tutorial that’s super easy and you can be as creative as you want. These hair pins are perfect for your flowergirls, or a cute addition to a bridal-do.
What you’ll need:
- Flat top hair pins
- E6000 Glue (Super glue will work too)
- Paper flowers and leaves
- Sticky-backed faux rhinestones and pearls
What to do:
- Start by assembling your pieces together into a configuration that you like.
- Glue together one layer at a time, starting with the hair pin as the base.
- Top with a rhinestone or pearl or even a cute button.
- Let dry overnight.
Ta-dah!
