4 Creative and Original Ideas to Reuse Old Hairpins
We all have that little pile of hairpins—bobby pins, snap clips, and barrettes—that have lost their shine or purpose. Instead of tossing them out, why not give them a second life? With a little imagination, those forgotten accessories can become clever tools, decorative accents, and even stylish art. Here are four creative and original ways to reuse your old hairpins:
1. Mini Photo Holders for a DIY Display
Turn your old hairpins into tiny photo holders for your desk, fridge, or bulletin board. All you need are some small printed photos or polaroids, a sturdy base (like a cork board or magnet strip), and your bobby pins.
How to do it:
Open the bobby pin slightly and slide the bottom edge of the photo between the prongs. Then attach the bobby pin to your base—pin it into cork, glue it onto a magnet, or clip it onto twine. This makes for a charming, minimalist way to show off your favorite memories.
2. Bookmark or Page Marker with Personality
A bent bobby pin can slide easily over a page and hold your place in your favorite book or notebook. Customize it for a stylish touch.
DIY twist:
Glue a small button, bead, or charm to the top of the pin using strong craft glue. Add washi tape or wrap the ends in embroidery thread for color. It’s practical, pretty, and you’ll never lose your page again.
3. Cable Organizer for Small Electronics
If your earbuds or charging cords are always in a tangled mess, old hairpins might be the answer.
