Hey friends! This week is Halloween, so it’s going to be a busy one with the family. Â I’m kicking this week off with a SUPER easy project that I made from my Blueberry Cove October Bead Box. Â I only had a few minutes in the studio, and this one definitely fits the bill. Â Before drying time, you can make these hair pins in about a minute!
If you haven’t heard of Blueberry Cove Beads, they’re a partner of Happy Hour Projects. Â It’s a monthly subscription box filled with a themed selection of beads and jewelry making components. Â Full disclosure: they don’t pay me to advertise for them, or any commission if you check it out, but I do get a free bead box each month for sharing what’s inside with all of you. Â Each month, the theme is a surprise, and in October, the theme was Victorian Gothic. Â While I can’t wait to get my hands on these beads to make some pretty accessories, I knew as soon as I spotted the black rose cabochons, that’s what I was going to use first.
Supplies needed:
- 18 mm Flat-back black rose cabochons (from my Blueberry Cove box)
- Filigree-style blank hair pins
- Heavy-duty adhesive (I like Gutermann Glue)
Any adhesive advertised for bonding metal to other surfaces will work for this project (like E6000) but I prefer Gutermann glue because it’s less messy with less odor, and bonds just as well. Â I get mine on Amazon.
Just add a small amount to the back of the cab, and attach it to the center of the hair pin blank. Â That’s it! Â Just let it dry for at least an hour.
Hope you’ve got a fun week planned! Â I have a little unicorn and Captain America to entertain this week leading up to Halloween. Â See you guys again soon!

nice post
looking good
So awesome! love this!
Cute, and super simple. I love crafts!
Love these hairpins! They are just my style. I’m not gothic, but those black flowers just call to me.
So cute! For some reason I am just no good at craft though. I try and try but unfortunately I didn’t inherit my Mom’s craftiness.
Those are really cute. Thanks for the idea.
Those are REALLY CUTE!!! I wish I was craftier. I love the idea but when I sit down to do it, things just never turn out well!!
CUTE!!
