TUtorial: Button Hair Pins

It's so easy - with the right glue! - to make these adorable hair pins!

Tools and Supplies:

• Buttons of your choice
• Hair pins with a little round pad on them (I got mine at Hobby Lobby, you can find them online, too)
• E6000 (find this at any craft store)
• Toothpicks

Step #1

If you are making a stacked button hair pin (I did for this one) add glue to one button and put it on the other button.

If you are just using one button, skip to the next step.

(notice the string of glue in the photo - I should have wiped that off!  You can also pull it off after it dries, so don't worry!)

Step #2

Add glue to the pad of the hair pin.

Step #3

Place the hair pin onto the back of the button.

Step #4

Allow to dry at least overnight before wearing.

Step #5

Enjoy your new hair pins!

New Jewelry: Key Pin

Key Pin III , originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

I finally carved out some time to make some jewelry last night. I have so many things to do for my jewelry business, sometimes I get so busy that I don't have time to actually CREATE jewelry! It's the difficult thing about working full time while running a business, too. I am so thankful for that secure paycheck coming in on a regular basis during this economy, but it also means I am very busy a lot of the time!!

This pin is one of 4 that I created that are all similar, but with different keys. I think the key itself is very pretty and the sweet flower and leaf go nicely with the key. This is a pin. It would look lovely on a purse, sweater, to close a scarf. or on a blouse. Also, this pin would work nicely vertically or horizontally.

The key pins will be listed in my shop tomorrow evening! (Unless hours suddenly disappear from me like they did tonight!)

Available on Esty

or Artfire

(there are 2 different pins)
