Make it Monday # 19
Hey there!
Well once again Monday has come around so fast! But today I managed to think of something for you all and here it is……Enjoy!
Pretties Kit Flower Hair clips
- Pretties Kit
- Aquapainter
- Crystal effects
- Glitter
- Ink Refill
- Mini glue dots
- Hair clips, or bobby pins
Step 1:
Take your ink refill and load some of the ink onto a plastic plate - I have used an icecream container lid
Step 2:
Add a little water to the ink and spread around with your aquapainter
Step 3:
Take a flower from your pretties kit (any size) and load the ink onto it with you aqua painter. I have used Groovy Guava ink.
Step 4:
Set your flower aside to dry
Step 5:
Take your Crystal Effects and add some to your plastic plate. You will want to add a little bit of water to is, say 1 part water, 3 parts Crystal effects to dilute it slightly
Step 6:
Using your aquapainter again, load the crystal effects onto the flower. Then sit is aside to dry. This is going to stiffen up your flower and make it easier to work with.
Step 7:
Take your glue pen and run it over your flower.
Step 8:
Pour glitter over your flower - either fine or chunky glitter is okay.
Step 9:
Set your flower aside until that glue and glitter dries
Step 10:
Decorate the center of your flower. I have used a small flower and half pearl
Step 11:
Take your clip. I bought this one from Priceline which is a beauty supplies store for about 99 cents each.
Add a dollop of Crystal effects to the top end of your clip
Step 12:
And pop your flower on top. I doubled the flower so that it will get a full effect. Once again you will have to set this aside till the Crystal effects dries. You don’t want it falling off before it sets.
Alternative ideas:
For this clip I have coloured a large flower with Blue Bayou ink refill. I have then folded the flower over in half, and attached it to the clip. I also added a smaller white flower, folded in half, and a half pearl. I finished it off with some Dazzling diamonds glitter
And for this one I created the little flowers, and placed a small rhinestone brad in the centre. I have attached it to a bobby pin to make another floral clip.
3 different styles:

The girls had fun posing for these pics…..AND they couldn’t believe that I made these myself, just for them!
Enjoy!
