Make it Easy: DIY Word Up Hair Grips

Who wants to hide their hair grips when you can greet someone with them instead! The options are limitless as you don’t have to stick to just one word. Send a message (Positive Vibes) or make name hair grips for all you friends. No one will look at the back of your head the same way again!

You’ll need:

Metal Letter Beads

Hair Grips

E6000 Glue


Instructions:

1. Glue the letters to the hair grip. Be generous with the glue, they need to be strong.

2. Spray paint a few layers of colour over the grip and letters making sure they are completely covered.

3. Leave to dry then grip in under you top knot to make the ultimate hair statement!

      Hey Kate! There’s a link to some letter beads on Etsy in the materials list. Sorry, it’s not very obvious! :)

    How do you keep the bobby pin from sticking together when you spray paint it?

      I think you can probably pop a little piece of card in between the metal but I’ve never had a problem with this :)

    What type of glue do you use to make the letters stick.

    You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I find this
    matter to be really one thing that I feel I would never understand.
    It sort of feels too complicated and extremely
    extensive for me. I’m looking ahead for your next submit, I will try to get the cling of it!

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve
    either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d truly appreciate it.
