A Simple DIY Hair Accessory: Button Bobby Pins

Photography by Christina, A Homemaker's Journal

Bobby pins are a brilliant invention, aren’t they? They’ll help to hide stray hairs when you’re sporting a sleek ponytail, or keep too-long bangs off your face during that awkward “growing-out” period. But for all their awesomeness, bobby pins can be a little, well, boring sometimes. That’s why we love this great DIY accessory idea from Christina at A Homemaker’s Journal. She’s found a simple way to dress up those plain bobby pins to give them a little more style and character.

What you’ll need:
• Bobby pins
• Old buttons
• Needle and thread
• Super glue

You’ll find Christina’s instructions for creating these button bobby pins over at A Homemaker’s Journal. Christina used antique and vintage buttons for her hair pins, and you can add to your own collection by checking out craft markets and antique stores.
