DIY Kawaii: Accessories!

Ciao lovelies! Today, we're revamping an old series and bringing you some cute DIY kawaii accessories.

Kawaii is Japanese for cute, and is actually a whole subculture!

Today, we're bringing back THIS and THIS post(s)! I figured, instead of Princess household items, and accessories DIYs, we could make Kawaii DIY's! I plan on making a post for accessories (this post), school supplies, and household items- maybe more than one each!

So, let's make some kawaii accessories together!

To start, you'll need some bases. I'm using a couple different types of clips, hair ties, and safety pins!

You'll also need the desired decorations!

For the first project, we'll be making a simple flower hair clip!

To do this, you need a clip like the one shown below, then hot glue fake flowers to it! Super simple!

For the second project, we will be making a kawaii rainbow charm bow. For this, you'll need a rectangle of purple (or your color choice) craft foam. Fold it accordion style as shown below, then cut a long skinny rectangle of foam. Wrap this around the middle of the accordion shape and glue in place.

Then add a alligator clip and charm and your kawaii bow is done!

For the third project, we'll be making a some basic bows even cuter in less than a minute- by adding cute charms with hot glue!

For the fourth project, we'll be making a kawaii cat face hair clip in just two steps!

Step one- Draw kawaii cat face on a bead with a sharpie.

Step two- glue kawaii cat face to hairclip!

So kawaii!

For the fifth project, we'll be making another SUPER easy one- a bow hairtie! I'm sure you can guess how we will do this. Tie a ribbon in a knot around a hair tie. Then tie a bow!

For the sixth project, we will be making something a little harder. We will be making a kawaii letters alligator clip.

Clip your clip onto some foam, and glue on a ruffly ribbon! Then glue on another ribbon. Then glue on letter beads of your choice. I spelled out "Kawaii" since it's the theme of this DIY list!

For the last project we're making a ocean brooch! Brooches are actually very easy to make if you have safety pins! You'll need some craft foam, a safety pin, and decorations of your choice.

Start by cutting a circle and a small rectangle. Glue the safety pin on as shown below, then flip it over. Glue on your desired decor and you're done!
