Today I tackled quite possibly the easiest craft project ever! It was so easy, in fact, that I wouldn't even really call it a project. It took all of thirty minutes to make the first of what I think might be several gifts for my bridesmaids: tiny hair pins adorned with rhinestones jewels (re-purposed from the buttons on an old sweater).
This is how I did it:
1. Snip old buttons off sweater.
2. Slip the button onto a silver bobby pin.
3. Use a straight pin to fill the button hole with clear industrial adhesive and glue the back of the button to the top of the pin.
4. Wait for adhesive to dry.
I'm still waiting for the adhesive to dry, but I think it will work perfectly! I'm going to give each bridesmaid two, which they can wear in their hair anyway they like on the day of the wedding (and hopefully later, too). I'm still debating on how I will present them, but for now, I'm poking holes in card stock scraps left over from my invitations.
I'm also debating knitting wraps for all five of my bridesmaids (also to wear to the wedding and after.) But I'm afraid it might be too warm in Tennessee in September. And, knowing me, I'd probably buy enough yarn for five and end up only halfway finishing one by the time of the wedding. It's the thought that counts, though, right?
