Tutorial: DIY studded hair accessory

The weather is getting incredibly hot and humid lately, and I've half a mind to shave my hair off! Unfortunately I will just look like a boy monk, so maybe it's a good thing only half a mind was involved in that thought, heh.

Studs are one of the easiest ways to take an outfit from regular to studtacular! Whether you like to go crazy with a fully studded jacket or just minimal with one studded accessory, I approve wholeheartedly :) Here's a simple DIY hair accessory that you can make in a jiffy.

You'll need:

A small piece of felt

Hair comb

2-prong pyramid studs

Multipurpose adhesive ie UHU

Scissors

Cut a strip of felt that equals the height of one prong to the other of your stud.

... not THIS stud ;-)

Cut the strip so it also equals the width of your hair comb from end to end.

Slather some sexy glue on it.

Stick the felt strip onto Ryan Gos--I mean, the hair comb.

Dab some glue onto the felt, and start studding the comb from the edge, prongs facing top and bottom vertically. Use your fingers to bend the prongs inwards (if it's tough, you can use a butter knife or even pliers). 

The idea is to latch the prongs onto the felt strip so it won't jiggle around :D

When you're done, the back of the hair comb should look like this, and the front...

... ta-daaaaah!

Enjoy your new DIY studded hair accessory! :)
