I found an
interesting article in an old magazine with instructions on how to
make a glitter hair ornament using ribbon and sequins.
Simply cut
different lengths of ribbon and fold each in half end to end. Overlap
and stitch together across the top. Then glue the ribbon to the back
of a hair comb. Decorate with sequins randomly placed on the length of
each ribbon strip and set a row of sequins across the top to hide
sewing stitches.
There are many
variations that could be made from this one simple idea. These could
be used as hair inserts or extensions by attaching one or more ribbon lengths to
small clips and set around your hair. The ribbon could be bright colours or pastels, try netting for an invisible look. Attach sequins
with a dab of glue or use beads or glass. A wonderful way to recycle
broken or old jewelry.
