Frequently asked questions about hair accessories with beads
How do you make hair accessories with beads yourself?
How do you make hair accessories with beads yourself?
One of the easiest methods is to wrap thin wire around a hair pin and thread beads on along the way. You'll need a hair pin, copper wire in 0.3–0.5 mm thickness, beads of at least 4 mm (we recommend 6 mm) and flat nose pliers.
The technique is called wire wrapping and is perfect for beginners. We have a free video guide that shows the entire process step by step.

Which beads are best for hair accessories?
For the hair pin shown, where you'll wire wrap the beads on, we recommend using beads of at least 4 mm – preferably 6 mm.
Freshwater pearls give an elegant and feminine look, glass beads are perfect for colorful designs, and gemstones like rose quartz, jade or amethyst add character.
Choose beads with a through-hole so they can easily be threaded onto the wire.

For hair pins with beads, copper wire in 0.3–0.5 mm is ideal. It's soft enough to wrap around the hair pin, but strong enough to hold the beads in place.
