Beaded Bobby Pins - Project Pinspiration #8

Sorry, this is another super long pin picture.

And here's how mine turned out:

If you look close enough, you can tell I didn't exactly follow the directions picture on the pin. If I make any more, I might try it their way to see which way I like better and/or is easier.

You may recognize these beads from another Project Pinspiration idea. I knew I'd get a lot of use out of that one baggie of beads! You can also see better that I used a super thin wire to wrap my beads instead of the thread they used in the original idea.

Overall, it was pretty easy to make these. I just started at the top and wrapped the wire a few times before I started adding the beads. I found that for the size of my beads, I just needed to thread 3 on before wrapping the wire around to the back side. Add another 3 beads, wrap, repeat, all the way to the end. When I got to the part where the bobby pin bends up a bit I just wrapped the wire tightly a couple of times and made sure I snipped it as close to the base as I could.

I ended up giving these to my sister as an early birthday present because I didn't want to wait until near the end of May to share this post. She loved them!
