Awhile ago I posted a photo of an awesome hair style on my Cuties blog. The style had a bunch of diamantes on the side and there was discussion in the comments about how to do it. Puregirlblue remembered that she had some with velcro on the back so I figured why not make some with pearls and some other things!
This is probably the best photo I got of the pearls, I wore them to the Illamasqua counter opening.
Not really a tutorial because it’s a very simple concept. Take the scratchy side of some velcro… Cut it up And glue it to the back of whatever you want to attach to your hair. I did some ribbon flowers, stars and pearls. Everything worked really well except the pearls because I didn’t think about the weight while I was doing it. I used glass pearls because that’s what I had on hand but they are way too heavy to be held in with jut the velco so as a quick fix I ended up using some eyelash glue to keep them in my hair on the night and using make up remover to take them out after. Like Aurorahime suggested putting real/glass pearls on the little metal spirals to either lock them in or just use this technique with regular cheap plastic pearls, that works awesomely! |
Just like SheFallsSoftly mentioned you really can do this with anything so next time your hair needs some extra bling this is something to think about 😀
