A hair vine is a wire with beads etc on it that you put in your hair in lots of different ways. You can attach hair clips, elastic, wind it round a bun etc.

Instructions

  1. Small dsc00364 1277215716

    Get your tools, wire, beads and tape measure together.

  2. Small dsc00365 1277215804

    Measure 70 inches/178cm of wire and cut it.

  3. Small dsc00367 1277215983

    Bend the wire in half and make a loop by twisting the wire. Twist it for about an inch, I use the tip of my thumb to the knuckle as a guide.

  4. Small dsc00368 1277216148

    Thread beads onto one of the wires

  5. Small dsc00369 1277216200

    Twist that wire back on itself so you have a branch about an inch long

  6. Small dsc00370 1277216276

    Then twist the wire for another inch and make a branch on the other side. Keep doing this for most of the length.

  7. Small dsc00371 1277216369

    Leave some wire at the other end to make another loop.

  8. Small dsc00372 1277216422

    Make the loop about an inch from your last branch and twist the wire back onto itself up to that branch

  9. Small dsc00373 1277216512

    Cut the wire ends off and make sure they are not sticking out. I flattened the loop a bit with some flat pliers too. now you have a hire vine to do with as you wish. As I have short hair I put some elastic on mine and use it as an alice band but sometimes put hair grips in it so I can put it in anyway I wish
