~recycled hair pretties~

 I pull my hair up. A lot.

Like...almost everyday.

Especially in the summer.

It's just too hot to wear it down most days. 

I love a little bling in my hair and

I got this bright idea to refashion a couple 

of REALLY old barrettes that I haven't worn

for a long time. I haven't got rid of them because

I like the size....one is real big and the other is real small.

They were very plain and boring...which is why 

I rarely used them. Honestly-I'm shocked I've

kept them this long.

I took this:

 ...and turned it into this:

 My little guy took the pics and was so proud of himself.

"Ooh...this is a good one Mom."

The small barrette I didn't get a before picture of.

It was just a little, clear barrette. 

This is what it looks like now:

I wear this A LOT now.

I actually didn't have to use the E-6000 glue

for these. The embellishments already had an

adhesive on them and they stuck really well

to the barrettes. I found these embellishments

in the scrapbook section at Michael's.

They are scrapbook stickers! 

Who would have thought?

This is about the easiest refashion I have 

EVER done. And I figure all the hairspray

I use will just help to permanently affix 

these do-dads onto the barrette.
