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?
You’ll Need
oversized hair clip blank (I upcycled one I had on hand, but similar ones linked below)
spray adhesive
hot glue
cane webbing
seashells
oversized hair clip blanks:
rose gold, oversized hair clip
silver oval barrette
scalloped gold set
raffia barrette
mixed metals set
Modern Mermaid Hair Clip
- Trim your cane webbing to size.
- 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).
- Reinforce any webbing overlaps on the edges with a dab of hot glue gun to prevent unraveling.
- 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?
