Yep its finally time to share with you just how I make my bobby pins and its so simple but comes with a warning!. Firstly finding the right bobby pins. Take a look around ebay and you will find a wide range of bobby pin blanks. DO NOT use bobby pins without the little plate attached or your lovely button or gems will have nothing solid to stick to!. You can buy loads of colours, different lengths, thicknesses all sorts its a person choice which you go for, I recommend 8 mm silver plated with the pad. I found 50 from china for £2.30. Or if you cant wait £5.00 for 50 from a Uk seller. Which still only makes then 10 pence each before you add anything. Resins, Buttons and Gems. The choice is yours I generally find sets of 6 flowers resins for £1 in crafts shops The Works often has some. Or you can bulk buy resin flowers I found 50 for £2 on ebay. Perhaps you want to use buttons you may have some at home you can use. Glue Gun The best thing ever. You need one that's all I use. Heat it up apply it to the flat back and stick it into the plate of the bobby pin, leave a few minutes to set and you are done. , My week Well I was hoping to be much more organized for my little girls birthday party but my week has been very busy and next week looks set to be the same!. So far I have cut out the cake boxes, cut out the fry boxes which are going to be used instead of party bags and stamped and cut the circles to go onto the fry boxes. I still have so much I would like to make lets hope I get the time. Once its all ready I share with you my makes on my party page. Lastly this weekend thanks to having a son mad about cars we are heading off to Castle Combe Circuit for Mini World Action Day and luckily I picked up these large buttons perfect for hair accessories. These are on a crocodile type clip again hot glued in place. Perfect. I will share some pictures of my weekend with you soon, Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend. xxx
