Looking for a little pop of glam in your accessories for the holidays? Try something unexpected like this…

You may have seen the hints of gold and copper accessories hitting the runways this fall and we’re here to tell you theres a very simple and affordable way to do it yourself.

Did we mention it was actually pieces of piping? Not all plumbing pieces are used for plumbing repair only

You can head to your local home improvement store and pick piping pieces in all shapes, sizes and metals. Once you pick out your pipe ask for a piece cut between one and three inches – depending on the size you’re looking for.

Then all you have to decide is whether or not you’re going to go for a sleek or casual pony tail, a cute braid, or experiment with different updo’s.

To insert the clip into your hair, just twist the hair style and slip the clip up to the spot you would like it in. If you’re worried about it staying put just wrap a small elastic hair band under the clip.

Whichever way you decide to incorporate the DIY hair cuff you can be guaranteed the cuff itself will be the easiest part. We would love to see your styles. Check out our facebook page: and send us pictures that we can feature on our next DIY Blog!
