Do you ever rock a headband or hair wrap? Do you think they look better with long or short hair? I've become more interested in them since I've had short hair than when I had long (maybe it's because you can't do much else with short hair). Here are DIYs that I'd like to give a try. by Lilac Lane

While I was on the bobby pin kick , I made myself some colored ones. I made some plain ones and some color blocked pins.  How exactly does one do this? Grab some plain bobby pins, cardstock or card board and your favorite nail polishes. Slide the pins on the card and paint away.

I've only ventured out of the house once with them in because I think I might be a little too old for this style, but I got compliments from my friend and my hubby likes it. I think I need to make myself some cute ones and start wearing them more.
