It's time for another eddition of 10 Minute Trend!
Today we've been inspired by Chanel's Spring 2012 collection. Because any classy or preppy girl loves pearls.
Pearls were all the rage on the runway for noted French fashion house. They were everywhere, pinned in hair, stuck on the back in an ascending way, and around necks and wrists.
Inspired by this DIY from Honestly... WTF I set out to create my own pearl pins.
What you need:
12 pearl beads
12 bobby pins
108 inches of thin gauge jewelry wire (9 inches per pin)
Scissors
Super glue
What to do:
Start by threading the wire through the pearl bead and twisting the end of it so the bead is closed off.
Next twist the wire around the pin until you are satisfied with the stability, if there's extra wire then use the scissors to take off the excess. Just make sure that it's hidden and tucked away so it won't poke you.
Lastly, for some extra insurance put a small drop of super glue on the area where the wire meets the bobby pin. Let it dry and wear your new "designer" pins with pride!
Keep it classy,
