Button Hairpins

DIY Button Hairpins

(12.27.11)

INSTRUCTIONS

I found these hairpins on Pinterest and made some for Nikki.  The ones I’m going to link to are actually attached in individual bobby pins and stitched on.  I did mine a little differently because I wanted them to be more durable.

I used silver hair pins instead of bobby pins.  I found them on clearance at Walmart.  I traced each button on felt, cut it out, placed two parallel slits in the center of the felt circle, and fed the top of the pin through it.  A little hot glue on the felt… stuck the button on and that’s it.

If you do it this way the buttons are not attached to the pin, the pin/felt/button are all attached together. 

If you’ve tried this or have any comments/suggestions, let me know.
