Secrets to Finding Beaded Barrettes and Artist Made Hair Clips

By Maggie Greenbaum


You want to look great, so where can you find those beautiful, beaded barrettes that are made by artists? If your hair is short, a little, beaded hair clip is perfect. If your hair is long, the artist made French beaded barrettes are just the ticket. It is like jewelry for your hair.

I'm sure you've already checked your hair dresser's shelves, and your local grocery store or big box store for beaded barrettes and unique hair clips. You were likely disappointed to find the same old thing and nothing unique. Beaded barrettes and hair clips are sold by the artists themselves and usually not found in stores.

To shop for handmade barrettes and hair clips, enter those words into your favorite search engine. That will likely pull up some websites of artists who make beaded barrettes and handmade hair clips and combs. Another place to check is the website Etsy. Etsy is a website that is used only by artists who make there own creations. There are many artists on that website who make hair clips, beaded combs, and beaded barrettes. It is amazing what you can find there. There are some other websites similar to Etsy. Do a search engine search for "artist websites" and you'll find several. Etsy is the biggest one and has been around the longest, however.

You can find handmade barrettes made for just twenty dollars and some for hundreds of dollars. The things that drive the price are: skill of the artist, the amount of labor involved and the quality of the parts used. A talented artist that works fast, uses designs that don't involved a lot of labor and is very creative with design and color coordinating is usually going to be found in the mid price range. Artists who are not talented and use very cheap materials are usually priced really cheaply. Some of the very experienced artists make labor intensive, gorgeous bead work and that always costs the most but the work will last many lifetimes.

Some of the finer work done in barrettes is with spectacular material. Swarovski crystals and Swarovski faux pearls are just such an example. They are well made and gorgeous. They add sparkle and life to the beaded barrette, which makes you look beautiful. When comparing a beaded barrette made with Swarovski crystals and pearls to the discount version of crystals and pearls, it is very easy to see that you like the one made with the Swarovski items. Another thing to keep a look out for is Miyuki Delica beads. These beads are the finest glass beads in the world. A beaded barrette made with those really stands out. They are neat and perfect in the way the beads lay, the finishes are beautiful and the crystal beads add a beautiful rainbow of color and glisten in the sun. The Czech beads are nothing like them. Of course, the Miyuki Delica beads are a lot more expensive than Czech beads, but you'll find the beaded barrettes are very much worth the extra paid in price.
