DIY Modern Mermaid Hair Clip

DIY Modern Mermaid Hair Clip

Who else has been loving all the statement hair clips that are popping up everywhere? They’re an easy, dramatic way to change up a basic hairstyle and there doesn’t seem to be a wrong way to wear them. They’ve become my morning go-to as I’m rushing out the door, and because it’s officially summer, I think a little mermaid DIY is in order. Because what’s more vacation vibes than woven rattan & seashells?

Modern Mermaid Hair Clip

  1. Trim your cane webbing to size.
  2. Spray the back of the cane webbing with spray adhesive (do NOT spray the clip! that’ll make the parts not covered by the webbing stick to your hair).
  3. Reinforce any webbing overlaps on the edges with a dab of hot glue gun to prevent unraveling.
  4. Hot glue your seashells to the clip and hit the beach. 🐚

This DIY reminded me how much I love playing with the modern mermaid magic concept- I had completely forgotten about this modern mermaid updo I did for our wedding and now I want to try some pearl DIYs! Are there summer textures you look forward to wearing every year?
