- Remember to double these instructions to make your matched pair of hair pins!
- Begin by squeezing some glue onto the post it or piece of scrap paper. Using a piece of wire or toothpick as an applicator, grab some glue and spread it in the center of a white filigree stamping.
- Center a blue filigree on top of the white filigree and press into the glue.
- Now spread some glue in the center of the blue filigree. Place 1 large Austrian crystal 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.
- Into this circle of glue, place smaller red Austrian crystal 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 Austrian crystal rhinestones.
- 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 the white filigree and press into place. Let dry overnight before wearing.
- Happy 4th of July!
