Put a small amount of E600 GLUE
on the round part of the hair pin,
and add the cat eye cabochon bead.
Hold for a few seconds,

I slide the hair pin on a piece of cardboard
while they dry.
Let them dry for 24 hours.

I LOVE using
glass cat eye cabochon beads.
Cat eye beads are named for their reflective colors.
The backs of these beads are flat,
and perfect for gluing on the flat part of hair pins.

Cat eye beads come in all shapes and sizes:
hearts, squares, circles.
