diy pearl bobby pins

Supplies

• pliable jewelry wire
• jewelry pliers
• scissors or jewelry shears
• pearl beads
• bobby pins

Directions

Begin by cutting 2"-3" sections of wire, making sure to allow room to grip the wire later on as you wrap it around the pin. Starting from the edge of the wire, clamp your pliers onto the wire and twist around the rounded base until you have created two to three small loops. This will act as a base to secure the pearl bead in place. Next, slide the pearl bead onto the wire and bend so that the loops sit flat against the bead. Taking the untouched end of the wire, wrap once around the wire itself, then a few times around the bobby pin, making sure the pearl is safely secured. I recommend pulling the wire taut after each time you wrap the wire around. Once you have secured the pearl to the bobby pin, cut off any remaining wire using the jewelry shears or scissors.
