look what did! AKA the raddest hair clip i own AKA i heart g

..lue guns friggin title limit.
heheh .. anyhoos:

so,
there was this topic last night on another forum about
wearing those lovely hair decorations worn mostly by geisha for everyday
use.
i was totally like this when confronted with the thought of wearing
them daily.
so i searched for them on the big ol' interweb,
and when i saw the prices of the real deal handcrafted ones,
i was all like this:
but then inspiration struck.

so i headed to my local dollarmart thing
armed with nothing but a 10 dollar bill and a dream.

3 fake flowers, 1 fifty cent hair clip, a little kids' necklace and a little bit o' hot glue later,
this is what i came up with ...


(i have a horrible camera. and i do apologize for the less than stellar pictars.)


(also, im possibly the shakiest self-portraiteur on the planet..)

...not bad for a rough draft, eh?
i spent about 10 minutes on it...
im totally making more.

i want to try out those rainbow-hued lei's for flowers and see if i cant find some star-shaped
mardi-gras necklaces.

the store had the LAMEST selection of fake flowers.
basically red, white and this blandass shade of gray/green...
i really wanted bright, primary, girly colors.
to match the kiddie necklaces.
but like i said, this is but a rough draft.
i still have 5 necklaces a bouquet of flowers and 4 barettes to work with.


[i apologize for my emoticon abuse ]

oh wow!

thats so pretty!

you should make a black one with pearls(or fake pearls) i might buy it

because i don't have my own glue gun hurr

they had black roses left over for halloween,
but they wanted 2 bucks a piece. (lol cheapskate)
and i couldnt figure out how to glue it to the barette without
showing the ugly bottom part of the flower.

but thats a really good idea.
ill hook you up when i find some suitable black flowers.
(there needs to be a thumbs up smiley dude here.)

*does the happy booty dance (because with this bra on i actually HAVE booty woo!)*

wait.
isnt booty = butt?

oh, you're from down under,
it must be opposite in your hemisphere
ell oh ell

well in my mind booty is ass and tits...

ehehee i love aussie jokes

Awesome! I love it!

For black flowers, I discovered you can spray paint fake flowers with black paint, and voila! Black flowers! (I was far too cheap to pay for black flowers at Halloween).

That looks really cool!

Great job.

Love it. ^_^

I love that! look's awesome!

Whoa, that's like the raddest hair clip I've ever seen! That's some gooood stuff.

Aww I love hair flowers.
You should do one on one of those combs (the squarish ones that you slide into your hair)

Your hair's cool too.

what kind of clip is this? a barrete is one of those foldy openy type things right?

A barette is the one where you click it and it jumps open. Haha if that makes sense.

ooh yeah it did!
thankyoou!
