Here is my second Halloween inspired hair accessory. I’m going to show you two different versions of skeleton hair clips you can make – and they’re so quick and easy that you’ll have no trouble making them in time for Halloween night.
SUPPLIES
- cardboard
- marker
- scissors
- white craft foam
- hot glue gun
- hair barrette/bobby pins
1. draw a bone on a piece of thin cardboard – you can print a picture from the internet to trace or just free hand it like I did // 2. cut the cardboard bone // 3. trace it onto a piece of white craft foam // 4. cut the foam bone // 5. glue to the top of a barrette // 6. make sure the barrette is open, so it isn’t glued shut – you’ll need to be able to open and close it to wear it!
VERSION 2: CROSSBONE BOBBY PINS
Follow the same steps as before, but make the bones thinner and glue them to the tops of bobby pins. I slid a piece of cardboard in the bobby pin while the glue dried so I wouldn’t glue it closed.
Did you know that the flat part of a bobby pin is actually the top? And the ridged side is supposed to go in your hair? Kind of mind blowing, right?
Alternatively, you can also use the pins as a cute accessory for your clothes. Yes, I was wearing shorts in October. We had some crazy warm weather a few days ago.
What a fun idea!
