Need a new hair accessory? Try putting chopsticks with super cute charms in your hair!
Steps
-
Collect the things you'll need. They are listed below.
-
Take the elastic and stretch it around the end of the chopstick. Tie a knot and cut a long end of about 6 inches.
-
Select your beads. Make sure you have 2 of each bead, with at least 2 seed beads(one per chopstick.)
-
String on the beads. Put a seed bead at the bottom.
-
Take the end of the elastic and string it back through all of the beads EXCEPT the seed bead at the bottom.
-
Adjust the beads as needed to push the top bead to the chopstick.
-
Tie the elastic to itself at the top of the chopstick. Cut excess elastic.
-
To wear, put your hair in a bun. Slide the chopsticks under the bun.
Tips
- Make charms in many colors!
- Buy or make actual charms, like the ones for charm bracelets. Thread these at the bottom instead of seed beads.
- Use prettily patterned or colored beads.
- These can slide of the chopsticks, so one pair of chopsticks, thousands of possibilities.
- Please don't be particular about the use of the origin of parts and enjoy your original design.
Warnings
- Be careful with scissors!
- Keep beads and charms away from small children, as beads can be a choking hazard.
