Pearl Bow Hair Clip

Hi!!

This cute DIY will add an adorable piece to your hair accessory rotation.  It is quick and easy to make.  And will make the perfect gift for friends or girls.   

Inspiration:

The inspiration for this DIY is vintage style, bows and this Asos hair clip.

What you’ll need:

  • Pliers
  • Strong glue (can also use a glue gun)
  • Pearls (I used 62, random number I know)
  • Wire (20 gauge)
  • Hair clip

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Cut wire to approximately 40cm.  Using pliers bend the end of the wire over the tip of the pliers to make a little loop. 
  2. Thread on beads on the wire, but do not fill the wire.  Leave approximately 2cm free on the wire.  Secure the other end of the wire using the same method as before. 
  3. Bend wire in half.  On one half twist a loop of approximately 20 pearls.  Repeat the same process with the other side but twist over the previous twist.  All that free wire should have been taken up by the twists.  If not cut off excess and redo securing the end. 
  4. Apply a generous amount of glue onto the hair clip and press the bow down.  Hold until glue hardens.  
Hope you like it!!
