these were a little addictive because they were so much fun and really easy to make! i ran out of bobby pins before buttons ;) |
i did sew the buttons that had visible holes with thread before hot gluing them to the bobby pins. for the pins with loops on the back i used a stanley knife to take the loop off, leaving a flat surface to adhere to the end of the bobby pin.
my gran's button stash ... it was a treasure trove of cool buttons i wanted to adhere to clips! |
the pile of finished clips! |
outcome: i love vintage things so the ones with the vintage buttons on are my favourites and they will definitely come in handy for sweeping my growing fringe out of my eyes during summer! as for the holiday ones, i think this a really great, cheap, easy option for having a little holiday bling for the girls in your life!
my sincere thanks to christina from a homemakers journal for posting about making her bobby pins when inspired by some she saw at a local market ... i love when great ideas become real :)
