Journey of Something, Decorate Your Own Hair Clips

Whipped clay, piping tips, charms, and sprinkles — hair clips that look like they came from a very tiny patisserie.

Whipped clay is a modelling clay that, when applied through a piping tip and left to dry, looks exactly like whipped cream or icing — which is what makes this kit immediately charming. Four hair barrettes are the canvas; three colours of 20ml whipped clay, three piping tips, fifteen clay charms, four large charms, sprinkles, and a pair of tweezers are the tools. The process is satisfying in the way that piping icing onto a cupcake is satisfying — precise enough to require concentration, forgiving enough to guarantee a pleasing result. Once dry the clay is firm and the clips are genuinely wearable. The perfect kit for anyone who likes both crafts and hair accessories, and the natural companion to the Decorate Your Own Baseball Cap and Chunky Bracelets.
