Fashion Blog: Color Me Bobbies

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

About the Project: Want to mix up a traditional hair accessory? Lucky for you, it only takes a minute (literally!). With Valentine’s Day coming up, this fashionable DIY craft lets you rock a different kind of red look.

 

Materials Needed:

Bobby pins

-Nail polish (any color)

-Cardboard or a thick piece of paper

Step-By-Step:

1)      Take your bobby pins and slide them onto the side of the paper. This will catch any spillover when you paint your bobbies.

2)      Using any color nail polish, start painting away on the surface of the bobby pins. Feel free to make designs as well! If you have a lighter or more transparent color, you can paint your bobby pin white first. This makes your top color more opaque and brighter.

3)      Let the bobbies dry completely before wearing.

4)      Voila! You have completely transformed your boring bobby pin into a fun accessory for any occasion.
