Creating your own bridal hair pieces lets you control the style and price of each decoration. There are a variety of styles to choose from, including tiaras, headbands, barrettes, clips, combs and caps. This project creates a glittering rose barrette that can be worn alone or with a simple veil that attaches anywhere from the middle to the lower part of the head.
Instructions
1. Glue the end of the 1/2-inch-wide ribbon to the back left side of the open barrette face. Wrap the ribbon around the entire length of the barrette face to cover the metal, keeping the wrapping flat and smooth. Cut the ribbon as needed and glue the end to the back right side of the barrette face. Let dry.
2. Place a large, white silk rose on a flat surface. Make sure the rose shape is open and round, not closed like a rosebud. Cut the stem from the rose.
3. Put a dab of glue on the back of a large, clear flat back rhinestone and secure the rhinestone to the middle of the open rose. Dab glue to the back of five, small, clear flat back rhinestones. Arrange the small rhinestones around the large rhinestone to create a glittering, circular center to the rose. Let dry.
4. Put a dab of glue on the back of a small flat back rhinestone and secure it at the tip of a petal. Repeat the process to decorate each petal on the rose. Let dry.
5. Dab some glue to the back of the rose and secure it to the middle of the ribbon-covered barrette face. Let dry.
6. Repeat the process to create as many bridal hair pieces as needed.
