Transform your old earrings, brooches, or vintage buttons into unique DIY hair accessories!<\/h3>\n

I love hair accessories, but sometimes it seems like everyone is wearing the same ones from big box stores! To avoid wearing the exact<\/em> same accessories, I like to create my own accessories from vintage items that I find at thrift stores and garage sales. Not only are they unique, but repurposing items allows me to skip the impact of buying new. What items could you turn into a hair accessory? Go through your stash and choose items that you can revamp!<\/p>\n

What You Will Need:<\/h3>\n

1. A\u00a0hair pin<\/strong>\u00a0of some sort. I used a bobby pin.<\/p>\n

2. An\u00a0earring, brooch, or botton<\/strong>. I used a vintage earring that I bought at a\u00a0garage sale<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Hot glue\/hot glue gun<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Pliers and\/or scissors<\/strong><\/p>\n

How To Do It:<\/h3>\n

1. If you have an earring or brooch, you’ll need to remove the back piece. I used a combination of pliers and scissors to remove the back part of my earring.<\/p>\n

2. With your hot glue gun, carefully glue the earring to the top of your hair pin. I glued mine to the end part of the pin, but the placement is up to you.<\/p>\n

Can you believe that’s it? Now I have a one-of-a-kind hair pin that matches my style. I can’t wait to make more accessories like these\u00a0DIY hair accessories<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0these that are made with recycled materials<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and this\u00a0awesome 5 minute headband<\/a><\/strong><\/span>! If you’re not up to making your own hair accessories, consider buying handmade ones from Etsy, like these adorable headbands from Lynn Minney<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

What would\u00a0you<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0glue to your hair pin? There are so many possibilities– regular earrings, clip-on earrings, brooches, buttons, etc. Share your ideas with me in the comment section below or on our\u00a0Facebook page<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
