DIY tips for creating unique hair accessories

• Use a ribbon and barrette to create a bow hair clip: Cut a piece of ribbon to your desired length and tie it in the middle with a knot. Next, affix the bow onto a metal barrette with hot glue, making sure you leave enough slack to create loops on either side.
• String beads onto wire for headbands: For this project, you’ll need several small beads of your choice, along with pliers and wire cutters. Choose two pieces of thick-gauge wire (20 or 22 gauge will do), bend them into an arched shape, and use the pliers to twist their ends together. Next, start threading the beads onto one end of the wires evenly, then twist the ends together to secure them. Finish by bending the arched shape back into a headband and secure it with hot glue or tape.
• Create a vintage-style fascinator: A great way to make your own unique hair accessory is to create a vintage-style fascinator by using an old brooch, veiling, and some lace or trim of your choice. Start by gluing the brooch onto some felt and apply the trim on top in a decorative fashion. Next, take your veiling and cut it into circles of different sizes that you can layer one atop another as desired — you can use frayed edges for texture if desired too. Finally, secure everything with hot glue and finish your handmade fascinator with ribbons and/or feathers.
• Try a beaded ponytail holder: For this craft, you’ll need several small beads of your choice, along with pliers and wire cutters. First, choose two pieces of thick-gauge wire (20 or 22 gauge will do), bend them into an arched shape, and use the pliers to twist their ends together. Next, start threading the beads onto one end of the wires evenly, then twist the ends together to secure them. Finish by bending the arched shape back into a ponytail holder and secure it with hot glue or tape.

• Decorate some bobby pins: You can easily customize bobby pins by gluing on tiny trinkets like charms, beads, or fabric pieces. Place the trinkets onto the bobby pins and secure them with hot glue or a strong adhesive. If desired, you can also paint the metal part of the bobby pin in any color to match your look. Let dry completely before using.
• Make a flower clip: To make this lovely accessory, start by cutting two circles out of felt (or other fabric) that are slightly larger than the size of your desired flower. Then cut frayed petals from a piece of paper and use them to trace shapes onto one circle — ensure you leave enough space between each petal for later folding. Next, carefully cut out these shapes and repeat on the other circle as well. Next, place the two circles together and use a needle and thread to attach them, making sure you place the folded petals in between. Finish off with a button or jewel in the center and secure with hot glue.
• Embellish a headband: This is a fun and easy way to take any ordinary headband and give it flair for special occasions. Start by picking out several small beads, charms, or fabric pieces of your choice — you can even use old earrings for this project. Then glue these decorations onto the band on one side only (leaving enough space between each piece) before adding some ribbons or lace along the other side for a more finished look. Let dry completely before wearing.
• Customize a hat or cap: For this project, you’ll need patches and pins, as well as hot glue and scissors. Start by cutting any excess material from the patches to fit onto the hat/cap before gluing them on with hot glue. Then arrange the pins into a design of your choice and secure with hot glue. Finally, let dry completely before wearing your customized creation!
• Make a knotted headband: To make this chic accessory, start by measuring out two pieces of ribbon long enough to wrap around your head twice when tied in an overhand knot. Next, tie both ends together in an overhand knot and adjust its size accordingly — leaving enough room in the center to pass the other end through. To finish, tie a small bow or knot at the nape of your neck and secure it with hot glue.
• Design your beret: For this project, you’ll need an old wool beret, lace, ribbon, and/or fabric pieces — along with scissors and hot glue. Start by cutting any excess material from the lace before gluing it onto the beret using hot glue. Then arrange any ribbons or fabric pieces into a pattern of your choice before securing them with hot glue too. Finally, let dry completely before wearing your new creation!
