Hair Stick Beading Instructions and Tips

Some examples of hair stick clip-ons
Hair sticks can be fashioned by using a 1 inch eye pin and a touch of glue to the inside of the hole drilled in the end of each stick.

A 2x2mm crimp bead can be placed inside the hole before adding the eye pin, to take up any slack that may be present if the hole is a bit large.

* You can also stick the end of a toothpick in the hole next to the eye pin, breaking it off cleanly, and file down any excess toothpick with a nail file, emery board or diamond tip reamer attachment.

You will need the following items:
1   hair stick, end drilled
1  1", 2" or 4 inch  head pin or eye pin for stacking beads or one 3 inch hat stick pin, for a longer, sturdier pin decoration.
crimp bead, and a dab of craft glue to secure the pin

 


Bead caps and an eye pin or eye screw can be used to camouflage the end of the hair stick, thereby adding a touch of flair to the finished product
