Need a fun, fast, update for your hair? I can always answer that question with a yes, and was so excited when I spotted Anthropologie’s Brocco Bobbies:
Let’s get started…
Materials:
1. fabric scrap – approximately 4″x4″
2. 1/4″ or 1/2″ wide ribbon scrap – 3″ in length
3. needle and thread
4. glue gun
5. vintage brooch or button (my pink and gold “brooch” pictured was part of a vintage bracelet I found at DI)
7. small felt scrap
Instructions:
1. First we’ll make a fabric yo-yo as the base of our hair pin. Using a bowl or other circular item that is approximately 4″ in diameter (the finished yo-yo will be close to half the size of your initial fabric circle, so adjust accordingly if you’d like), trace a circle onto the wrong side of your fabric.
Try adding a feather or two…
These are adorable! I just might make a few myself, thanks for sharing.
Very cute!!! I am glad you shared the yoyo tutorial because I would have attacked them in a very different manner. Ashley of LMM also made these for a guest post somewhere, but she had used yoyos from a quilt, so the tutorial wasn’t part of her post. Thanks again.
i am so making some of these! they’re awesome. thanks for the tutorial!!
Very cute! Great tutorial! I’ve been thinking about making something like this – thanks for the inspiration! :) Have a wonderful week!

I just found your blog and am your newest follower! These hair clips looks amazing! Thanks for creating such a fab blog full of inspiration.

AWESOME! I need to make a few of these… bobby pins are the things that I wear the most in my hair, and I’m always looking for cute ones!

Beautiful bobby pins! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Thank you so much for a great tutorial! These are just what my teen is into right now! I may just have to surprise her with some or better yet, teach her how to make them herself!
1) Super cute!
2) The whole time I was reading this, I kept reading “customize your own boobies.” I must have preschoolers in the house…*sigh*
Great job!! I wonder if my mother would wear these…they’d make a great gift!
