Steampunk, to me, is the child of availability of resources and the need for beauty. I had an old barrette that had lost the jewel in the center of it. After dismantling a few watches, I had an excess of old clock bits that needed to be used. Thus, the Steampunk barrette was born!

Description

Steampunk, to me, is the child of availability of resources and the need for beauty. I had an old barrette that had lost the jewel in the center of it. After dismantling a few watches, I had an excess of old clock bits that needed to be used. Thus, the Steampunk barrette was born!

Instructions

  1. Small 201 1285543635

    Gather supplies. Not pictured are the tweezers. At first, I had considered using a cameo, but the sizing was off. So then I switched over to my bits of watches.

  2. Small 203 1285543721

    Assemble the hands of the watch and glue into place. Most watch hands nest into each other, so mixing different hands is a bit difficult.

  3. Small 205 1285543787

    Glue watch face onto barrette, allow to dry and rock your new hair accessory!
