You can change the color of your hair clips with a Sharpie, Staz On Ink or even nail polish. There are a few other supplies you may need if taking some extra steps like changing the color of hair clips or filing down metal nubs from clipped charm rings, brad prongs or button loops. I like the tube that comes with precision tips for jewelry and small items. In addition to the hair clips, you need a pair of wire cutters and a strong clear glue like E6000. but first, a little message about affiliate links: Here are a few excellent options found on AMAZON. While you probably already have the buttons, you may need to purchase the hair clips. I used a combination of bobby pins and different sized alligator clips (for different hair lengths/thickness). You also need to chose some blank hair clips. Of course, you need a variety of buttons – brads and beads are great options as well. Making hair clips out of buttons is fun, easy and requires very few supplies. The most difficult thing is deciding which ones to gift and which ones to keep for yourself. The supply list is short and within an hour you’ll have tons of unique hair pins. Well, this week I decided to bring some of my favorite buttons out of storage and into circulation via super easy DIY hair clips. I tell myself I’m saving them for something ‘special’. At some point this obsession does become a bit ridiculous though because I actually have trouble putting these little gems to use. I’m sure there are a few other button admirers out there. Buttons are like mini treasures and running my fingers through a jarful of them just makes me happy. I have a thing for buttons every shape, size, color and theme.
