When we see a cool hair accessory on the runways, our first reaction isn’t to start setting aside a couple hundred bucks to buy it. Instead, we fire up our creative minds and go into DIY mode (obviously). So when we saw these gilded hair adornments on the Dolce & Gabbana and Rodarte runways, we made a beeline for the nearest craft store. You won’t believe how easy it is to score a runway-approved accessory on the cheap.

-e6000 Craft Adhesive, $7.99

-Scissors 

-Large hair comb - we used a Goody Simple Styles Fountain Flip, $6.99

-One large circular pendant, medallion or coin, approximately 2 inches in width. 

-Two smaller circular pendants, medallions or coins, approximately 1.5 inches in width.

-Approximately a dozen 1 cm gemstones, any color. The amount you'll need will depend on how large your biggest medallion is. For our 2-inch size, we used exactly 12 stones. (We found our pendants and gemstones at Toho Shoji NY.)

And there you have it. This is the easiest runway accessory DIY ever, no? We chose to use two thinner barrettes instead of one large one, but feel free to use any size you want!
