hair today!

Another possible idea for those wet and rainy holidays;

Next time you are in a pound shop why not stock up on plain hairbands and plastic gems of all shapes and sizes.

My two girls spent quite some time sticking gems onto the hairbands. I used Pinflair Gel glue, I bought mine in a local craft shop. It cost just under £5 but it has lasted me a long time. It comes in a tube and you can squeeze it into a syringe to use. It is not sticky, so there is no fear of the girls glueing their fingers together and it doesn't fix the gem in place for about half an hour so they can remove and reposition their gems on the hairband until they are happy. This glue will also rub off surfaces easily within the first half an hour yet once it is dry it hold firmly on most materials (infact I havn't found any yet that it doesn't work on).

You could also buy big material flowers to stick onto the bands, being as elaborate or refined as you like.
