Hi everyone.
I bought some Swarovski round faceted beads (6mm) and some open-style hairpins to make bridal hair pins out of - simple ones with just one crystal at the end. I'm making them for myself as I found some for sale online for £3, and being quite competent at making beaded jewellery I thought I'd give it a go.
Has anyone tried to make anything similar? I've attempted one - with 24 gauge wire (silver) but the wire was visible in my dark hair and the ends were quite messy and sharp.
I've thought about just glueing the crystals on with superglue, but I think the paint from the hairpins might just chip off, taking the crystal with it!
Any advice appreciated!
