I wrapped a few pearls and crystals onto a hair comb for a quick project that looks very elegant.
It's easy to create style for any occasion by dressing up a hair comb with some of your favorite beads and components. Cynthia used a crystal to dress up this hair comb. The sparkling crystal and magical pearls are perfect for bridal looks, formal occasions or a fun summer day See more ideas for creating hair accessories in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a two-foot length of silver 28 gauge Artbeads Designer Wire, or a comfortable length to work with. Wrap the wire around the end of a hair comb several times.
Affix a rhodium-plated posy filigree with crystal to the front with the wire. Wrap around the hair comb several times on the other side of the filigree for a secure hold.
Use the wire to wrap three 4mm round Crystal Pearlescent White pearls onto the comb. When all of the pearls are attached to the comb, wrap the wire around several times.
Attach the 12mm heart sew-on stone in Crystal to the hair comb. Wrap the wire around the hair comb several times on the other side of the heart. Make a mirror image of the pearls and filigree on the other side of the heart. Secure and trim your wire to the back of the hair comb.
String a 4mm pearl onto a 1-inch sterling silver 24 gauge head pin and make a simple loop at the top of the bead. Slide it onto a sterling silver 6.10mm open jump ring. Add another pearl to another head pin, make a simple loop at the top of the bead and slide it onto the same jump ring. Add a pearl to a 3/4-inch 24 gauge sterling silver eye pin and make a simple loop at the top of the bead. Add it to the same jump ring. Open the loop at the bottom of the eye pin and add the rhodium-plated square charm with crystal. Close the loop.
