How you decorate your hairsticks is really up to you. Use your imagination! Here's some ideas:

  • Glue ribbons, cords, yarn or garlands around the ends. You can also use fabric paint to decorate the ribbons.
  • Glue small toys, buttons, objects or jewels to the ends. Epoxy or jewelry glue is good for this.
  • Paint stripes or designs all over or just on part of your sticks.
  • Form small wire shapes, and have them hold on dangly ornaments, small stones, etc. Secure with epoxy or jewelry glue.
  • apply decals or small stickers to the sticks and seal with clear sealant.
  • look in strange places - some of my favorite accents came from the hardware store. Found objects make the best ornaments.
