DIY Bedazzled Bobby Pins
After a long day of school on Tuesday, my roommate and I needed to do some self-care. Since we didn't have a lot of craft supplies at our place, we came up with the idea of painting bobby pins (well, actually, B did), and here is how they turned out. The glittery ones are probably my favorite.
TOOLS: Bobby pins, scrap paper, and your favorite nail polishes
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slide as many bobby pins as you want on to a piece of scrap paper (we used a Trader Joe's bag). Make sure the pins are at least a centimeter apart.
2. Start painting! Depending on the polish, you may need more than one coat on each pin. No need to use a base or top coat.
3. Let dry.
TIPS:
-Try layering different colors of polish (e.g., white and silver glitter) for a unique effect.
-Experiment with different patterns like polka dots, and color blocking.
-Have trouble with deciding on what colors to use? Visit the website of your favorite brand/company to get color palette ideas. My pins in the first picture were inspired by J. Crew.

Oh this is adorable! I think I might give it a try. Instead of using it in my hair, I think I might use it as a "bookmark" since the string fell out of my planner.
I just did something similar with my keys... this is obviously the next step!
That is such a cute idea!! :) xx I definitely need to try this out!
