I found some "hair bungees" at my local supermarket. They are pieces of elastic with hooks at each end. These are so much easier to place the beads in your hair than normal hair bands. Also this is a great way to use up left over beads and spare buttons.

Thread a bead on to a head pin.
Using some round nose pliers, hold the head pin just above the bead. Bend the wire all the way around one of the barrels of the round nose pliers.
The wire makes a "P" shape.
Cut of the end of the head pin near the loop and thread the bead on to a jump ring.
Repeat this with a few beads until you get a cluster.
Carefully open a jump ring and thread on the jump ring with the beads attached and close it around the hair bungee.
And you are done.
