Luckily, that last wish was easy to accomplish. I had a big strand of fake flowers in my room that I'd been meaning to use for a while; I just didn't know what for. After buying a new package of bobby pins, they finally had a purpose.
This was so easy to do; I just hotglued the flower to the top of the pin and waited for it to dry. The one thing I wish I could change is how much glue it took to adhere the flowers; I feel like it's kind of noticeable when I'm wearing them. They kept falling off if I used less, though, so I guess I'll live with it.
I've mostly been using these to secure up a simple bun- my go-to hair style when I'm working or just need my hair out of my face. I'd like to pin them throughout a braid, but I'm a little worried they'd fall out throughout the day. Overall, I love how they turned out, and how easy and quick it was to put them together. And I like how they've been making my outfits just a tad more fairy princess-y :)
Sorry for the blatant laptop photo.... Getting real photos in a dorm room can be a challenge. |
This is so sweet! And I also have wanna-dress-up-like-a-princess days, which also seem to be coinciding with my returning love for pink!

Thanks so much! Where did you graduate from? I don't know of any other student blogs off the top of my head, but I'm also always on the lookout!
