Hairslide with small shell pearls

You need the following DIY materials to make this hairslide:

1 hair clip, gold-plated, 50x13mm
approx. 100pcs. shell pearls, 2mm, white
approx. 4m FireLine, 6LB, white

The decoration on this hair clip consists of small circles of pearls which are sewn together.

When you have to take a new thread, tie the threads together with a few knots and apply a bit of glue so they do not open up again.

Further down in this blog post we show you a larger version of the same kind of hair clip. The procedure is the same.

First, you thread approx. 2m of FireLine. String 4 pearls on the thread and sew through the first pearl in order to form a ring. You will have to take a new thead in between, but it is difficult to sew with a thread longer than 2m.

Tighten the thread so the pearls sit tightly together. Make sure to leave approx. 8cm of thread left over. Later it will be used to fasten the end with.

String 3 pearls and sew back through the pearl the thread is coming out of.

Tighten the thread. Now we have got 2 circles of pearls.

Sew through the adjecent pearl in the new circle.

Then you sew through the pearl next to that one. Now the thread comes out of the right pearl and you can proceed with the next circle.

Again you thread 3 pearls and sew through the pearl the thread is coming out of.

Tighten the thread. Now you have completed 3 circles.

Again you sew through 2 pearls so the next circle can be made. Remember to sew into the same direction within the circles all the time. You start by sewing through the first pearl.

Then the second pearl.

Again you string 3 pearls and sew through the pearl the thread is coming out of. Now you have completed 4 circles.

The wide part of the hairslide is done. Now the next row of 4 circles has to be added to the first. Sew through the adjacent pearl.

Sew through the pearl next to that one. Please note that you now work into the opposite direction.

Thread 3 pearls and sew through the pearl the thread is coming out of.

Tighten the thread. Now the first circle in the new row is done.

Continue by sewing through the next pearl in the circle.

String 2 pearls and sew back through the pearl shown in the picture ...

... and through the adjacent pearl, going through the circle.

And through one more pearl ...

... and one more pearl. You go through the circles you have already sewn until the thread comes out the right place and the next circle can be added.

Through one more pearl ... then you string 2 pearls and sew through the pearl in the previous circle.

Continue adding circles this way. When you have made 3 rows consisting of 4 circles each, you sew the sides of the hair clip. Make sure the thread comes out of the right pearl as shown in the picture. If it comes out of another one, you simply sew through a couple of pearls until it comes out the right place. Then you string 3 pearls and sew through the pearl the thread comes out of.

Continue sewing circles in one row for the other side of the hair clip. When 9 circles are finished, they have to be fastened to the wide end of the hairslide. By fastening it, you complete the 10. circle and reach the same amout of circles as on the other side. String 1 pearl and sew through the pearl shown in the picture.

Sew through a pearl, up through the hole and through a pearl. Make sure that the pearls are fastened well at the tip. Now the other pearls have to be stiched down to the hairslide.
Sew all the way along the hairslide, in the same way as you did on the other side.

Here you can see the back of hairslide where the thread is wound around. Finally, you tie the ends with knots and apply a bit of jewellery glue on the knots so they won't open up again.
