With the impending holiday season and with winter fast approaching, I thought we needed to add a little glitz to our life with an easy DIY hair accessory! Not only will you be able to bust this classy thing out at a party, but you'll can also jazz up an outfit for work or even gift it if you're feeling generous.
This DIY is simple and requires only a few items:
Hairclips: Be sure to use ones that are wide enough and that hold your hair up well. While you can use a thicker, solid clip, it will be easier to use one with a hole in it. Try:
1. Goody Basic Autoclasp Barrette (US$3.99)
2. Goody Contour Hair Clips (US$3.49)
4. Goody Contours Large Barrettes (US$3.99)
3. Thread and Needle
5. Sequin Trim and Felt: Try searching on Ebay for trims.
Tip: You might find it useful to use a hot glue gun too!
The How-To:
Step 1: Sew the felt to the sequin trim. If you're sewing impaired, you can also hot glue gun it together. Step 2: Sew the felt and sequin trim to the barrette, lopping over the hole. To make sure it stays put, you can also hot glue gun the fabric on first.
Final Product
How great and easy is that?
Do you have any easy hair tips for holiday styling?

 | Ooo I like this a lot! My bangs have been annoying me lately when they get in my face, so I find that I'm pinning them back a lot more often. This would definitely help dress my hair up, while staying practical with it off my face! |
