Embellished Bobby Pins

I have had a string of craft failures lately (don't you hate that?) so I needed a quick, impossible to screw up, craft.

I found these fabric covered scrapbooking brads at Joann's. I loved them immediately, but I don't paper scrapbooking anymore...so I thought they might be fun to attach to bobby pins!

First, I pulled both prongs on the back straight up:

Then I cut them with some wire snippers (I really don't know the actual name of the tool I used...sorry).

After I snipped them off, I used the snippers to press the little sharp ends down:

Next, I cut out little circles on felt that were a little smaller than the brads:

I sandwiched the piece of felt in the bobby pin:

Finally, I hot glued the back of the brad to the top part of the bobby pin:

That's it! Super easy and I got a little bit of my crafting confidence back:) I love putting them in my daughter's hair...and I even wore one myself the other day.

The total price for all 12 embellished bobby pins was $1.40! The brads were $2.99 but I had a coupon and I already had the pins:)
