#Hobby lobby alligator clips how to#

So, now that you know you can have an expensive looking accessory for less than $5 aren’t you excited to find out how to do it yourself?! Actually, I think you’ll be surprised at how EASY it is to make these and how little time it takes. Even my most “expensive” (if you want to call it that) custom piece only probably cost me around $10 to make. And sometimes even less than that due to my dollar store finds and thrift store shopping. But, I have a little secret, although I sold my accessories for a relatively low price (keep in mind, handmade is always better than mass produced so higher prices are to be expected), I really only spent about $3-$5 making each one. Since then, I have made hundreds and have sold quite a few at craft fairs and such.

If you want to know how to do pin up hair and makeup check out my last few posts). As I mentioned in a previous post, I love vintage fashion and started making feathered and flowered accessories for myself (and several friends and family members who saw mine) almost 2 years ago after looking up “ pin up hair and makeup” on google. You may have also noticed the steep prices of some of these feathered accessories (remember I’m cheap, so even $15 seems like a lot to me). If you have gone shopping, picked up a magazine, or turned on the TV in the past several months you may have noticed this trend of feathers in fashion. Today I will be showing you how to make a vintage inspired feather hair clip for under $5. Not his fault though, just one of those things, but I am feeling much more positive after putting my son down for his nap and getting my hands on some feathers for this next tutorial.

Welcome back! Well, my hubby is off to his brother’s wedding in Seattle, leaving me with a sick toddler and doctor ordered “bed-rest”.
