Making bobby pins pretty!!

Hello lovely readers,

Whether you're new to this blog or have been hanging out for a while now, I just want to say welcome and thankyou!! I've been really overwhelmed by how many people have been popping by recently, leaving lots of gorgeous comments and internet love!! (that sounds creepy, but you know what I mean!) As part of my ongoing 2013 resolution to get over myself and embrace technology a bit more, I have recently started using Twitter. I'm still not really sure how it all works, but I have taken like a duck to water with Instagram much more then I expected, so perhaps I'll get into Twitter too. If you are on Twitter, please come find me and say hello!! (Look for mezzcoleman)

Here's a quick and easy crafty project to do if you're feeling a bit pressed for time (which I certainly am) but just want to do SOMETHING!


I've started growing my hair (slightly) just from VERY short to more of a 1920's bob style (well that's what I'm hoping it will look like eventually) and in the meantime, I'm finding bobby pins very useful while its at a very frustrating in between length!!

I have been playing around with the bobby pins and trying to pretty them up a bit.


All very simple ideas, including ribbons, bows, crochet circles, buttons and fake flowes!! Please feel free to share some other ideas for how I can brighten up my bobby pins!!

Mezz xx

  8. cute pins! perfect for that fringe you suddenly cant stand whisping about in your eyes- sigh, every 8 months or so i cut myself a fringe because i think i might like it...i picked up an old scrabble game at an op-shop on the weekend, was thinking of some sort of hair clip craft with the letters :)
