Recently, DSC staffer Carissa shared how she mounted a sequin flower hair tie from the dollar store on a headband – and it turns out that she wasn’t the only one whose eye was caught by the sparkly, sequin-covered accessories!  Over at Mad In Crafts, Jessica used the same hair ties and clips to add some personality to a simple pillow she made out of a thrifted blazer.  Not feeling up to DIYing a pillow?  Dress up one that you already have on hand, or keep an eye out for plain pillows on clearance racks or at thrift stores!  [how to embellish a pillow with dollar store hair accessories]

Project estimate:

• Pillow, on hand or $1 and up
• Hair accessories, $1 and up
• Needle and thread, on hand

Total: $1 and up
