To make 2 matching hair pins, you will need:
1 package of Swarovski flatback rhinestones ss40 in light siam
1 package of Swarovski flatback rhinestones ss12 light siam
1 package of red bobby pins
1 tube of E6000 adhesive
The only tools you will need are your fingers, a post it, and a toothpick or piece of scrap wire to use as an applicator for the glue. Optional is the Beadsmith Magic Pick which helps to pick up rhinestones.
Begin by squeezing some glue onto the post it. Using a piece of wire, grab some glue and spread it in the center of each white filigree stamping:
Center a blue filigree on top of each white filigree and press into the glue:
Now spread some glue in the center of one of the blue filigrees. Place 1 large Swarovski red rhinestone (size ss40) into the glue and press into place:
Carefully run a line of glue around the edge of your rhinestone. Place the glue on the filigree, not on the rhinestone itself:
Onto this circle of glue, place smaller red Swarovski rhinestones all the way around the center crystal, touching each other:
Next, place 5 dots of glue at even intervals along the outer edge of the blue filigree. Into these, place smaller Swarovski rhinestones:
Repeat the rhinestone-gluing pattern on the other blue & white filigree you have glued together. Let the rhinestones dry in place for at least 20 minutes.
After the rhinestones have dried in place, take 1 red bobby pin and place a dab of E6000 onto the glue-on flat surface. Center this on the backside of one of the white filigree and press into place:
Repeat with another bobby pin and the other filigree assembly. Let your fantastic new hair decorations dry overnight (at least 12 hours) before wearing.
Happy 4th of July!
