We all like shiny things in our hair, so we wanted to make a little accessory with the aluminum coffee pods.

Materials used to make this hairclip are: Nespresso coffee pod (in this case Rosabaya de Colombia), round nosed pliers, scissors and a flower hairclip (others can be used as well).

Measure 1.5 cm from the top of the capsules. Than cut the top off. Make sure you remove all sharp edges.

Take your round nosed pliers and turn right. Try to keep the same distance between the turns. Hereafter slowly fold inwards until your coffee pod is flat.

Now turn around and position your plier just next to the crease. Turn your plier to the right again. Turn around and try to fold a bit more so your coffee pod gets smaller.

Add a Hairclip of Choice
