Hijab pin Tutorial for little muslimah

Here is a hijab pin tutorial you can make with or for the little muslimah in your life.

You will need:
straight pins in a variety of colors
plastic bead/charm components, I am using petal beads
rubber earring backs
crimp beads
jewelry tools pliers/crimper
crazy glue (optional)

Bend the top of the pin at a 90 degree angle about 1/4 down from the pin head (this will allow the pin to lay flat against the head when worn).



Slide the charms on the pin, add the rubber earring back and then the crimp bead. This provides stability and keeps the plastic beads from sliding down.







Crimp the crimp bead onto the pin. Add a drop of crazy glue to ensure the rubber backs and crimp bead will stay in place.

Voilla! The cutest little hijab pin.





Above you can see the white rubber back behind the pink petals, it really helps to hold the petals in place.

Easy Hijab Pin Tutorial

Here is one of the easiest hijab pin you will ever make. Make them for family and friends, make them with family and friends.

You will need: straight pins- get the longest ones you can find or have already

 a pin cushion- to hold up the pin while working

 nail polish- in any and all the different colors you wear or want your pins to be

Bonus: loose craft or makeup glitter

Now you can go out and buy these items or you can use what you already have.


First: place a few pins in the pincushion-I am using clover 1 3/4 in quilting pins, they are long and sturdy, they don't bend easily, they are sharp, and they are not to thick so they won't leave holes in the hijab.


Second: paint the pin heads in the desired colors. I am using Wet n Wild-Black Creme


Third: Let the nail polish dry only for a few seconds, until its tacky.

Fourth: Dip the pin head into the glitter. I am using makeup glitter, Wet n Wild #774 pink pussy cat




You can also take multi colored pins, cover them in clear polish and dip into matching glitter. The sky's the limit. 

BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN. ENJOY.
