Project Alert: Getting Creative with Hair Sticks

March 9, 2011

Here at Rings & Things, we are always trying to spice up our stock with fun new items.

“Ruby Ballerina” Hair Sticks with Red Sparkly Glass

Recently, we have delved into the enchanting world of hair findings. Our design team was challenged to use some of our new findings to make some unique hair decorations. I was given the task of creating something with our cherry
hair sticks that resemble chopsticks.

I wanted to make something easy, yet whimsical that could cascade through your locks and add a touch of “ooh-la-la” to the ordinary messy bun. I came up with two designs, that could easily be altered to fit your style or match any outfit. Simply pick whatever beads you like! You could go fun and flirty or sophisticated and elegant (think wedding party?). Whatever you decide, this project is easy, affordable and a great way to tackle the winter blues!
