This summer I bought a set of cute painted bobby pins from a certain high priced but very fun store that I paid way too much for. Why did I do it? Because I loved them! I use bobby pins almost daily and I’m always looking for pins with a little more zing. Those pins have, sadly, long since been lost, but I’ve figured out the secret to making my own. And I bet you have what you need under your sink right at this very moment.

Things you’ll need:
Bobby pins
Cardboard
Nail polish

Things to do:
1. Space the pins out along the cardboard a bit.


2. Carefully paint the top, bent half of the pin with a coat of nail polish. Allow the paint to dry
3. Add two to three more coats over the first, allowing each coat to dry before adding the next.
4. Allow the paint to set up overnight before using.
