This photo show a barrette before assembling. The step after this is glue the two part together and let it dry. It is the quickest part of doing a finished barrette. Well, there is nothing to do for the long drying part. The bolts are tied together by a macrame cord. The bare barrettes had been bought in a craft store. I think that this model of barrette, with the bolts, are the coolest ones that I have ever done. I had many comment on them when I get them in my hair.
It is a relatively quick project. It is not as quick than the earring I had done latey. The part that is the longest to do is assembling the bolts together. After glueing, I can forget about them funtil the next day. I usually wait for 24 hours for the glue to dry. It is usually enough for the two part to be stuck together for a long time. I also put the extra macrame strings in the holes of the barrette before blueing. I makes a knot also because I fine it help secure the two part together. It can be handy if there is a malfunction. The holes in the barrettes are barely visible on this photo but they are there. They are at both end of the barrettes.
