Mini Tut- Hair Pearls
Feb 22, 2011 by Violet
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 :D |
Oh we have this velcro rectangle used to hold up the fringe while cleaning our faces! now thanks to you I can decorate them^^
Ooooh I’ve seen those at Daiso here! I always just pin my fringe back but I thought they would be awesome to decorate ^_^
Very clever, and super pretty!
Thank you <3
oh my … great idea! Must try!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it :D
I remember that in high school I had a bunch of hair jewels that stuck onto your hair with velcro, just like these. I don’t know what happened to them though, they’ve gotten lost at some point. I wore them to one of my formals, but most of them fell out because I was dancing too vigorously.
XD I can so picture you dancing all your jewels out!
Such a simple and fabulous idea. I have the perfect event coming up for these so I will be making them. Violet you never cease to amaze !!!
XD Seriously not worth all that praise! I hope it goes well for your event <3
Hi Violet! Oh, I *just* discovered your blog and I am in loooove. I really adore all your tutorials on how to revamp anything! Love the boots tutorial :-)
Hey Laura! Thanks so much for reading, I’m glad you’re finding something useful!
What a cute idea! I have some little rhinestone stars on metal screws that I really love, so I might have to add some more pieces to my collection like this~
You can never have too many shiny hair accessories :D
