DIY: Hair Accessories for Girls

If there is one thing all girls can agree on then it is the fact that their hair needs to look cool, interesting and beautiful 24/7. Or at least a vast majority of girls. Everyone can buy their daughter hair accessories but that is not the point. A great thing to do is find some time to spend with your daughter, making unique hair accessories for her, with her. It is a fun and creative activity and your daughter ends up with hair accessories that all her girlfriends will love. She as well.

A Simple Leather Bow

A simple leather bow is very easy to make and it looks classy, expensive and romantic all at the same time. You can achieve other effects with different colors and added elements. You start off with two rectangles of leather, one narrower than the other. You form a bow from the bigger one and set it in place with a small band. You then wrap the narrower one around the middle part and a band next to it and sew it together. You can add additional elements to the ribbon later using a glue gun, for instance.

Crazy Mirrored Headband

This one is perfect for girls that are a bit older and who can handle the glue gun on their own, of course, under your supervision. It comes down to attaching small mirrors and other elements to a common headband. Mirrors go great with gems of different colors. Depending on the kinds of gems that you use and their color, you will achieve different effects. It is a great DIY accessory because your girl can do the work herself and really let her creative side express itself.

Fancy Golden-Feather headband

Once you make this hair accessory for your girl (with or without her help), she will be the happiest girl in the world. When completed, golden-feather headband looks incredibly fancy and expensive and is perfect for little princesses. You simply apply the golden paint to the feathers with a gold leafing pen, making sure you do not ruin the feathers. Next, you apply glue to one side of the feathers and then layer the feathers along the headband. Let it dry and you have the most incredible hair accessory for your girl, made by you!

Colorful beaded chopsticks

Chopsticks have been used as hair accessories for decades and you can make some cool, colorful ones yourself with the help of your daughter. You will need to shorten the chopsticks, sharpen one end but making sure that the very tip is not sharp. You will probably want to color them next. Then, you use wire with beads on it and wrap them around the chopsticks, making sure you have made knots that will keep the beads in place.

Elegant crystal and quartz barrette

If your girl is a bit older and wants something more elegant to adorn her hair with, then you could go with a homemade crystal and quartz barrette. You will need a common barrette to which you will glue a piece of leather fabric. The next thing is to glue pieces of crystal and quartz to the fabric, making sure that you create an elegant and toned-down effect. A good idea is to have elongated pieces of quartz and crystal and then glue them vertically next to one another, giving the barrette an increasingly elegant look.
