The first thing that drew me into the post about making lovely jewelry like this out of a plastic hair comb was the fact that the first word of the post is “dude.” I call people dude all the time, and I’m so glad I’m not the only person out there who has Keeanu Reeves-like tendencies when it comes to my vocabulary! Once I scrolled past the opening line, I sat and stared at the photos for a moment, completely dumbstruck. I would have never thought to cut up a hair comb and use it in beaded jewelry! Bah-rilliant! That Michelle from Mich L. in L.A. blows me away, coming up with unique way to repurpose things post after post. What will she come up with next?? [how to make plastic hair comb beaded jewelry]
Project estimate:
- Plastic hair comb, $1
- Wire cutters, on hand
- Wire, on hand
- Jewlery pliers, on hand
- Beads, on hand
Total: $1

Dude! Thanks so much for the sweet feature! Of course I am much too adult to call people dude…but I think that’s why sometimes I do it. Grownup, shmownup, we are all kids at heart. Especially when we take dollar store stuff and turn it into other stuff – pure playtime!

@Michelle – I tend to use it a lot when I get really excited about something. (It comes out around the same time I start talking with my hands!)
