We girls have tons of options when it comes to hair accessories, but we don't always want the attention-grabbing feathered fascinator or jewel-embellished headband. For those days when you just want to get your hair out of your face but still add a bit of color to your look, try this simple painted hair pin project. All you need is bobby pins and nail polish; just paint the pins, letting them dry between coats. You can do solid colors or try stripes, and if you're really creative, you could try to paint a unique pattern. You can even do clear polish and roll the hair pin in fine glitter. It's a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to make plain old bobby pins look a little more special.
I used old pins that were already losing their black paint, and painted three coats of nail polish on the straight side of the pin. To dry them, I simply slid them onto a piece of paper, paint side up.
