So, my monofin came in about a week ago, and since then, I have been super inspired, so I decided to try and make hair clips (and a circlet/headband thingy). Be nice, it's my first attempt! I learned a LOT in this process. I expected instant gratification with that glue... then I read the "24+ hours to cure" instructions on the back and I might have whispered an expletive... or two.

Lovely! I have a ton of white shells just like that, maybe I should try making stuff with them.

This is so cute! Also, I like the idea of using clips because they will probably stay in your hair while swimming.

Yep! I took them for a swim today, and everything held up, even through lots of backflips and turns in the water. I secured it using the method of lifting part of the hair, securing a small rubber band to make a "ponytail", letting the hair fall over it, and then securing the clip over the "ponytail" bit... I think Raven posted this as a youtube video a while ago, if I'm correct... Either way, it works wonders!
