Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Paint the Seashells
Using your nail polish, paint the seashells any color you like. This adds a personal touch and allows you to customize your headband to match your summer outfits.
Or, it would look amazing as an accessory for a wedding! The bride’s shells could be white, while the bridesmaids can have the shells painted to match the wedding colors or their dresses.
Step 2: Attach the Seashells to a Headband
Once the nail polish is dry, glue the painted seashells onto the hairband. I did the initial glue with hot glue and then followed up with a strong glue, such as Weldbond, to ensure they stay securely attached.
Step 3: Let the Glue Dry
After gluing the seashells, let the glue dry completely. Once the glue is dry, you have a beachy and fun hair accessory ready to wear in the summer!
