I’m not sure why I did not think of this before, but I have never researched, searched or googled trends for accessories, or even crafts for that matter. Whether it’s for my hair or jewelry, if I saw something I liked, I just bought the materials to DIY it. This year, I’m trying to turn a new leaf and, take a beat and research what to make. I need to understand what you like and what you would like to see get made. So, here’s what I researched…
Hair pins or hair clips were very on trend last year, and thankfully their appeal has spilled over to this year. I personally love them because they are like jewelry for your hair. As someone who loves to observe people, I love seeing what people wear in their hair because they are a reflection their personalities.
I also saw that pearls are big for 2020. For jewelry and for hair pins. Pearls are classic to me and they will never really lose their appeal, but it’s nice to see that they are appearing on a lot of runways and magazines in various and beautiful iterations.
So, with that research in mind, I thought I’d combine the two trends and share how to make these quick and easy vintage pearl hair pins. After I did all my reading, I hopped on to Etsy and looked for what I needed to make these cute hair accessories. My little packages arrived this week and I could not wait to share them with you!

How To Make Easy Vintage Pearl Hair Pins
I mentioned they were super easy to make, right? So, all you need to do is for each hair pin:
- Apply glue to the glue pad of the bobby pin
- Apply the flat part of the pearl embellishment to the glue pad of the bobby pin
- Let the glue dry
Tip: I dried my hair pins face down to avoid the pearl embellishment from moving around while the glue dried
Once your Vintage Pearl Hair Pins are ready, all you have to do is put them in your pretty hair or package them up as gifts for your fashion forward loved ones!
