all pinned up.

bobbi pins are a staple in my life. i can't live without them. i use them daily.

i'm loving the fancy pins i've been seeing online and in stores like anthroplogie, but $15 - $28 for a single bobbi pin? come on. so i did what any crafty girl would do - i decided to matters into my own hands and create my own fancy pins using things i had around the house. it almost feels silly to consider this a DIY project because it's insanely simple. hopefully it will inspire you to create yourself some hair flair for pennies. 

all you need... 

super glue / a glue gun - if you don't already own one, go buy one now. they're like a dollar and the best tool ever. 

buttons, rhinestones, ribbon, yarn, sequins stretch... - $.25 a yard for this stuff*. that's a ton of bobbi pins. 

bobbi pins - small or large 

*if you're in phoenix, locate your nearest SAS fabrics wholesale warehouse and thank me later.

{looks just like these here, huh? $.15 vs. $28. your choice}

{makes a boring messy bun just a little more fun}
