You can chose any color of wire or beads to make your hair sticks match
whatever you are wearing for a unique and customized butterfly hair accessory.
Note: Unlike traditional wood hair sticks, because the wire is flexible, these sticks work best as a decorative accessory rather than an item to hold hair in place.
- The directions for making the butterfly hair sticks are mostly visual so they have been put together on a different page. Please Click Here to view that instruction page.
- Finished Size approx. 6 inches long from top of butterfly wings to end of stick.
