What To Do With Your Broken Jewelry

    Every time I get a pixie cut I always feel like I have to go buy a ton of hair accessories to make me feel more girly. In stead of paying $6-12 on a bow I found some broken jewelry lying around and made hair accessories.

Things you will need

           

• Something for the middle- I used pendants from my broken jewelry. You don’t have to, you could use beads, reign stones, buttons, toys, ect.
• Lace- I just used some I had lying around the house. You can buy lace from any craft store or fabric store.
• Light fabric- I used felt just because that’s what I had laying around.
• Needle and thread
• Hot glue gun
• A clip- You can also buy these from any craft stores. I bought mine from Joanne’s a pack of 5 for like $1.95
• Alt to the clip a pin back if you would rather make pins rather than hair accessories.

Step one

Take your needle and thread and make loose stitches across the bottom of the lace. Then push the lace towards the end of the knot, make it scrunches together. Till you feel your flower is full enough. Different kinds of lace will make different styles of flowers.  Tie a knot and cut off the left over thread.

Step two

Cut a circle from your fabric. Big enough to put your lace flower on but not big enough to be really noticeable. It doesn’t have to be perfectly round its just going to be the base; no one will be able to see it.

Step three

Hot glue your lace flower to the fabric circle. Try to center it.

Step four

Hot glue your pendant to the center of the lace flower.

Step five

Hot glue the clip or pin back to the back.

TA DAH!

You can also clip your hair pieces to heels, flats, or bags to give them some extra flair.
