Use silicone molds and hot glue to create your own DIY hair pins! Make them with the sayings and paint colors of your choice. SO easy.

I’ve been eyeing those chic hair pins with cute sayings everywhere, but why break the bank when you can DIY? That’s right, it’s time to unleash your inner fashionista and tailor-make these accessories to match your unique style.

With a sprinkle of hot glue magic and a handy alphabet mold, the world of words is at your fingertips… or should I say hair tips?

Why hot glue, you ask? Well, apart from the sheer thrill of turning something so ordinary into fashion gold, it’s all about that quick dry time.

Follow along as I show you how to make the coolest hair accessories you never knew you needed. Let’s do this!

Gather These Supplies

• Hot glue sticks – I used white but you can also use clear (or another color)
• Hot glue gun
• Silicone alphabet mold (letters about .5 inches tall)
• Bobby pins
• Craft paint
• Small paintbrushes
• E-6000

Tips and Thoughts for This Project

You can do this on hair clips too as well as bobby pins. This might even be fun to do with a headband! Think of how long you could get the words. 😮

For an average sized bobby pin, you should limit words to three letters, but this DIY could also work with large clips/pins. Then you’d be able to add more letters.

Skip the painting step by using colorful glue sticks.

Carefully insert the DIY hair pins in your hair (beware, the glue can potentially pull at your hair!) and have fun with your unique sayings!
