Tired of black, shiny, dull bobbi pins?
Nail polish to the rescue! :)
 |
| The original pin. |
Get your regular bobbi pins ready. I put them on the piece of cardboard they came on, but any piece of cardboard will do. :)
Break out your nail polish...
And start painting! It's so easy...
The tutorial doesn't show that you need to do both sides, but I did. So after a while of painting and waiting for the pins to dry and painting some more and waiting some more, I finally got the finished product....
What you should know about doing this:
-If you're like me, you will get nail polish all over the cardboard. Don't sweat it. :)
-The bobbi pins will be a bit flaky at first, but it wears off after a little while.
This was a really neat idea. The bobbi pins are darling...a perfect little touch. :)

Well, that's it for today! Have a great day and God bless! :)

Hi Joy,
Thank you for participating in Pinned it, Made it! Monday! I thought your bobbi pins turned out really cute and they looked cute in your hair for church. I would have never thought of nail polish for painting them!
Love you! 10!
