Hello Truly Lovely readers! First of all I’d like to thank Truly Lovely for giving me this wonderful opportunity and honor to share a little something with their readers.
My name is Larissa. I blog over at Papa is a Preacher, and today I have a simple and fun DIY project to share with you all. As do many (if not most) girls, I absolutely love hair accessories. Headbands, clips, flowers, you name it!
Recently I found a very easy way to make my very own inexpensive hair clips! Basically what we’ll be doing is giving regular bobby pins and hair clip tic tacs a little sprucing up and personalizing them a little bit. I had a couple of old tic tacs that were beginning to lose their paint and look their age. This was a great way to cover them up and still be able to use them!
Here’s what you need, and how to make your very own hair accessories:
See? I told you it was super simple! I had lots of fun putting these together and they’re so versatile! You can make one to match any outfit and have lots of fun making different combinations.
How cute are those sweet hair pretties! Thanks so much for the tutorial Larissa!!! Hope you dolls will stop by her place and see the post I’m sharing today! You know me… It’s another EASY craft! 😉
Those are cute 🙂
I’m amused that you call it a tic tac. Growing up I called them barrettes.
I’d never heard them called tic tacs either! Too fun right!? 🙂
I confess I was wondering what to call them. Growing up mom called them tic tacs (that’s what they’re called in Brazil. I suppose it’s referring to the sound they make?) So I googled tic tac hair clips and they came up .. so I just went with it. hehe
These are super cute! Thanks for sharing. I admit I’ve never heard them called tic tacs either 😉
I’m glad you liked, Ricki. (:
So fun aren’t they!? 😉
Hi there! Had to pop over and say Hi here! I love your DIY hair accessories..I have so many crafty supplies, that I will have to try this and make a bunch for my niece! Thanks for the inspiration….. Glad you linked this blog..Off to check out the fun stuff on here!
Glad you enjoyed Winnie! Truly Lovely is a fun place. (:
Thanks for the visit today Winnie! And the sweet comment for Larissa!!!
I always called them hair clips, but I think tic tacs are more fun 🙂
I have three little girls I watch that will be quite thrilled with these!
I think so too! Fun name right!? 🙂
Wow.. Awesome post! I feel very happy to visit your blog. Thanks for sharing this post with us….
Thanks for the visit Larry! Happy weekend!!!
Such a well done tutorial and I just love the result! These would be so fun to make with my daughter. Thanks!
Thanks Ann! I’m sure you’ll have fun, especially now that winter’s around the corner and inside activities will be needed. (:
Very impressive, Larissa! I didn’t know you were this crafty! These are gorgeous little barrettes. Did you cut the felt shapes out yourself or buy them somewhere. Lovely!
I’m glad you like, Tiff. (: Well I was going to buy the felt and cut them myself, but I couldn’t find any felt pieces in a hurry. I had one afternoon to put the post together, so I did it the easy way and bought them already cut. (: Everything, even the glue for the glue gun, I purchased at the dollar store! (Minus the glue gun itself, of course) It was super easy and lots of fun, as well as inexpensive!
