Handmade beaded barrettes are gorgeous and a must for every woman and teenage girl to look her absolute best. Is her hair is short, a cute little hair clip is all that is needed to add some sparkle. If her hair is long, a combination of long dangling hair clips, large French barrettes help to keep the hair pulled back, and little hair clips add that pizazz and sparkle to her look.
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.
The website called "Etsy" is the biggest website dedicated to artists. The artists themselves set up pages on Etsy to sell their handmade goods. There are a few other websites like Etsy that you can find using a search engine. Do a search for "artist marketplace" and you'll likely bring up a few. Etsy is the biggest and the one most artists use. Another way to find beaded barrettes is to just do a search for "beaded barrettes." Some artists do have their own websites and blogs, but most sell their wares at Etsy.
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.
