How to Make Christmas Bow Bobby Pins Using Dollar Store Materials
Who likes crafts that are easy, cute, and inexpensive? Me too! These Christmas bow bobby pins are all of the above.
Recently I signed up for my first craft fair. I needed some items that would be appealing and eye-catching, but fairly inexpensive so I could make them in bulk. I found a great tutorial on Pinterest and figured these little accessories might just be cute enough to sell. Plus, they’re easy. I made 24 pins in less than half an hour.
Materials
- Bobby pins
- Mini Christmas bows (I got mine at the Dollar Tree)
- Hot glue
- Scissors
How to Make Christmas Bow Bobby Pins
Trim the back tag so that you have a small amount of tag surrounding the staple.
Put a thin line of hot glue onto the tag.
Press the non-bumpy end (the closed end) of the bobby pin into the glue. Don’t worry if it flows over onto the inside of the bobby pin…you can fix it later.
Let the hot glue dry. I let mine dry for about 5 minutes just to make sure the glue was completely dry. Open your bobby pin to separate the top part from the bottom. If there’s glue stuck between the two parts, use your fingernail or a knife to scrape it off.
I was worried that the hot glue wouldn’t be enough to hold the bobby pin on the bow. After finishing, I was surprised with how sturdy they were.
These bows are great because you can use them as a kitschy, silly hair decoration (a la an ugly Christmas sweater party), but you can also just wear them as a festive hair decoration.

Gotta love easy and festive, right? I’m planning on selling a lot of them at a craft fair, but I think I’ll have to keep some for myself, too. 🙂
