Gift presents for kids: beaded accessories for hair

 Swarovski Pins

Three Pins completed
Finally home (and with me, many bags waiting to be unpacked).

The hair pins above are quick and easy and an excellent way to make a special gift. I've seen beaded pins made with wire, but while traveling found that thread works equally well if not better. To make your own, here's how:

Materials
Supplies:
- bobby pins
- beads
- needle and strong thread
- scissors

Tutorial 1
String your beads, roughly the same lengths as the pin.

Tutorial 2
Pull the needle through the eye of the pin and tie.

Tutorial 3
Separate the first bead on the thread (leaving the others) and tie it securely.

Tutorial 4
Thread the needle back through the bead and tie in front. The following picture illustrates this very well.

Tutorial 5

Continue going through the beads one by one.
Tutorial 6

Tutorial 7
Once all beads are attached to the pin, it's time to finish and "hide" the two ends of thread.

Tutorial 8

Tutorial 9

Thread the needle back through the first and/or second bead, through the knot and cut it.
Three Pins completed
Done. Placed on a small piece of cardboard they make wonderful gifts for little and not so little girls.
