Golden Color Wire Jewelry Bow Hair Clip

Making baby hair accessories can be so addictive, I made another two! But would save the other one for next blog entry. :)

This time I made a yellow classic bow hair clip with the same measurements I've used to make the hot-pink hairclip:
- 2" long bare hair clip
- 1 piece of 4.5" 3/8 inch Grosgrain Ribbon to wrap around the bare hair clip.
- 2 pieces of 4" 3/8 inch Grosgrain Ribbon
- 1 piece of 2" 3/6 inch Grosgrain Ribbon (I sew my wire jewelry focal right at the center of the ribbon, vertically.)
- 1 piece of 1cm X 3cm grip

Tool:
- Scissors (sharp one)
- Lighter
- Hot Glue Gun
- Glue for hot glue gun
- Wires (20ga, 28ga and 30ga)
- 8mm tall tear drop beads (I used Gold color CZ Tear Drop Stone)
- 3mm round beads (I used Swarovski Crystal Pearl beads)


Again it has no-slip grip installed.

 

And it look absolutely extraordinary on my baby's head - it will be too on it's new owner's, I genuinely hope the toddler and her mother will both like it! :)

 

Stay tuned for my next blog entry! :)

DIY Wire Jewelry Bow Hair Clip (with no-slip grip)

Spinning off the previous attempt, I made yet another Jewelry Hair Clip! This time, I made a classic bow hair clip by following instructions from Ashley's Simple Bow Hair Clips (with non-slip grip) tutorial!

So have you made your's yet? No? You really should have, it's easy, Ashley had all details covered!

And here's the materials and it's measurements I've used:
- 2" long bare hair clip
- 1 piece of 4.5" 3/8 inch Grosgrain Ribbon to wrap around the bare hair clip.
- 2 pieces of 4" 3/8 inch Grosgrain Ribbon
- 1 piece of 2" 3/6 inch Grosgrain Ribbon (I sew my wire jewelry focal right at the center of the ribbon, vertically.)
- 1 piece of 1cm X 3cm grip


Tool:
- Scissors (sharp one)
- Lighter
- Hot Glue Gun
- Glue for hot glue gun
- Wires (20ga, 28ga and 30ga)
- 8mm tall tear drop beads (I used pink color CZ Tear Drop Stone)
- 3mm round beads (I used Swarovski Crystal Pearl beads)

And I JUST realized that I did not glue the grip onto a piece of felt first - but it works anyway. :)

The view of the non-slip grips:

And though this isn't meant for my little one, I let her model it anyway. Look absolutely stunning ain't it? I do hope people would notice this isn't an usual cute baby hair-clip, it's custom-made, and made with lots of love. :)

The little new owner ought to love this little jewelry hair clip! :)

Hope you have fun viewing, and make some of bow hair clips soon! :)

DIY Wire Jewelry Baby Hair Clip

This is a DIY Wire Jewelry Baby Hair Clip with Non Slip Grip! *big big grin*

The focal is something I have made in year 2009, a stud that I have conceptualized for a friend but it never did materialized, she didn't like it, and I didn't have time to revisit the design then later, we lost touch. I hope she is well, though.

So here, inspired by mgypsy's Little by Little studs, I made this very cute hair pin for my 6 months old. :) This is the first time I am making a hair clip, I hurt my wrist and I almost can't operate that hot glue gun (yes, using hot glue gun for the first time too yay!)

I can't be knowing everything! So here's the instruction I have followed, Simple Bow Hair Clips (with non-slip grip) by Ashley @ Make-it-love-it.

I bought my ribbons and bare hair clip from DIYHairBows.com, non-slip grip, hot glue gun and glues from Mr. DIY store (local store in our neighborhood).

My bare hair clip is 2" long, so the ribbon has to be about 4.5"; the grip's measure 1cm X 3.5cm, and the green ribbon is about 3" (I forgot to take note! I will in the next attempt!)

Ashley's instruction is very easy to follow, you should also be trying it out yourself. :)

Here's how it look on my baby's head. :D

Hope you have fun viewing, and eventually, trying. :D

Jewelry Headband - Bow Headband

Jewelry Headband, A bow design for Queen B, inspired by Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl (again).

I made a headband using YoolaCuff tutorial by Yoola Design today, by applying variation to make it into a lovely headband for my little one.

Might be able to make it into a ring, you think? :)

Or, a bracelet?

And here's a glance of it in my hand:

Before I attach it onto a headband:

After attaching it onto a red color of elastic lace:

Material: Non-Tarnish Silver Artistic Wires, Swarovski Cystral Pearls, Elastic Lace.
Measurement: 9.5gram.

I think my little one looks absolutely cute with it, what you think? :)

Jewelry Headband - Serena Flower, Double Layered

Because this is a jewelry headband, I wonder if Blaire Waldorf will like it. LOL.

Made in Malaysia (I meant both baby and the jewelry headband, lol.)

So I did not highjack the variation from Serena Flower Studs then. Instead of using elastic lace headband, I've opted the stronger base, and I thought the focal was too big, it is actually, quite alright when it's on my baby girl's head. :)

She's cute, isn't she? I simply can't take my eyes off her. So this marked the 3rd jewelry headband I have made for her, I already am planning for the next design! :D

Note: This is a variation of Serena Flower Studs / Post Earrings design. Tutorial is available for download at 50% + 20% further discount now:

Can't wait to start my next project. Artists who has daughter, are you just as crazy? LOL.

Double Layer Serena Flower - Wire Jewelry Variation

This is the variation I have been working on since I've published Serena Flower Studs / Post Earrings tutorial. By using the same workflow, I've created a dual layer of it, a layer with larger petals at the back. I was thinking to make this into another headband so my baby could wear it for our friend's wedding next month.

A glance of it in my palm:

Behind the scene:

Jewelry Measurement: 4.5cm diameter, 9.4gram.

A little too heavy for baby's headband isn't it? I am wondering if I should go ahead with the plan, or I should turn this into a ring or bracelet.

If it's going to be a ring, then this is how it should look like:

If it's going to be a bracelet...

Hmm. Decision, decision.
Let me have some thoughts about it before I decide.

I shall post a finalized piece then. Meanwhile, hope you had fun viewing.

Serena Flower Studs and Jewelry Headband - Malaysia Wire Jewelry

Greetings from Malaysia.

Noticed that I didn't wear the design and have some photoshoots? I hesitated because:
1. I have put on weight becoming a mother, I am still in the midst of losing them. I thought I would lose them first before I post photo of myself again. :P

2. Because I do not have time to reproduce the design, I stole the anti-clockwise side of the earrings and turned it into jewelry headband for my baby so that she could wear it for her cousin's birthday party.

3. I still haven't reproduce the anti-clockwise side of the earring, hence, I do not have a pair of earrings to show as of today.

But request came in early. I have to let people know how does it look like when worn.

So here it is. Serena Flower Studs Earrings, absolutely easy to be modified and made into jewelry headband, too.

The anti-clockwise side of earring is now a jewelry headband. And it belongs to my little princess now.

As for the back of the design - I promise it's not bulky. It is as flat/lean/clean as you could ever want it to be. :)

Download the instruction if you are interested to make one for your own:

I do hope you are happy to see me again. :)
