Making Hair Toys
Mar 31^st, 2005 at 11:15pm

I made a bun cover the other night. I've also found instructions for barrettes and small snoods attached to barrettes. Does anyone have suggestions for the type of barrette to use as a base? The instructions recommend those french clip styles that rip your hair with all the metal joints. Especially for the snood, I'd want a barrette that would hold a pony tail.

Maybe get a hairstick, take the necessary measurements, and poke two holes in the front part of the barrette. Anais

And this site http://www.geocities.com/thespookstress/index.html shows how to sew felt on the metal barrettes to make them hair safe. I haven't tried this, so I don't know how it works.

Good Idea - it will probably hold in my slippery hair better than a store-bought slide too.

13bodies - Thanks for the links. I'll give it a try with the metal barrettes I've stuck in the "do not use" pile.

Now, I just have to find the rest of my crochet hooks.....
