For anyone that's a fan of their bobby pins (though I could never seem to use them properly), here's a DIY tutorial to glam them up from their boring state!
Level: Easy | Medium | Hard
Kit List:
- Nail polish - Grab all your colours, neons, darks, pastels, glitter...
- Bobby Pins - These can be your old used ones, or brand new! It doesn't really matter what colour, but if you can find some already brightly coloured, those are great as you won't need to paint those stripes. White ones are also ideal as if you happen to have very think nail polish, the colour will show up better. You can use any type, however the ones with ridges will require you to be more careful.
- Masking tape
- Scissors
- Old cardboard - Or a surface that you don't need as you'll be painting on this!
Step-by-step method:
- Place your bobby pins on your surface, spread them out.
- Using your tape, tape off some patterns. There isn't a particular rule for this, you can experiment to see what looks best! Be sure to press down firmly on the tape (especially on those ridged bobby pins) so no excess nail polish drips under when you paint.
- Grab your nail polish and paint the sections. It's best to paint and wait for them to dry so theres no wastage/leakage.
- Wait for the nail polish to dry (20 minutes is around sufficient, depending on what type of nail polish) and then peel off the tape.
