How To Make Hatsune Miku Square Hair Clips For $4!!! | Tutorial

Hello, everyone and welcome to or back to my channel it's celeste and today i've got a miku hair clip tutorial for you all by popular request, and i hope you find this tutorial quick, easy and cheap. So, let's get started. What you'll need are some popsicle sticks, make sure you get the ones that are wide by the way i got everything used in this video from the dollar store, so everything came out to roughly four dollars. Need i say more anyway: next you'll need some electrical tape. That'Ll give us the vinyl finish. We need for the clips to look like the real deal after that. You'Ll need some thin red tape. I got these little deco tapes, but only really needed the red one. It was so perfect. I couldn't pass it up, but if you couldn't find the red tape anywhere paint or red duct tape could work too. Next, we'll need some crazy glue. You can always substitute this for e6000 or hot blue, but this step is important for holding our square clips together. Finally, you'll need some scissors and we're ready to start assembling the clips, so i arranged them like this just to organize it all, and now we're going to cut the rounded parts of the popsicle sticks off. I didn't have a ruler on me, but i found that the top joint of my thumb was a great measurement turns out. That'S about one inch so mark where that inch is on both sides and cut the ends off. If your measurements are off or you think they are no problem as long as you use that same popsicle stick as a guide for how you cut the others, that's all that matters, and once you're done with that, first stick use it as a guide for the Others, just like i mentioned that way, they'll all measure out to be equal, regardless of what your initial measurements might be, and now you have happy and equal matching sticks now repeat this process for the other six awesome. Now we're going to move on to the red tape for this step. We want to align the red tape with the center of the stick as much as possible, but no one's perfect, so don't stress out too much now we're just going to wrap the excess ends of the tape onto the other side. Now we're going to take our trusty electrical tape and tape along the outer edge of the red tape, like this very carefully aligning them and then afterwards we're going to cut off the excess and start folding the electrical tape over to the other side. Just like this. Once you're done with that, it should look something like this and now we're going to do the same thing to the other side. As we're finishing up this one we're going to do the same for the others and tada here they are they're awesome. They look great. Also, sorry for the lighting change. Some annoying people kicked me out of the room. I was in, i'm still pretty salty about it anyway, these look great and now we're going to begin gluing them together. So let's take our good old crazy glue. Please be careful not to glue your fingies together. That would be pretty sad. We'Re going to lightly dab some glue onto the short edges of our sticks. Now you want to act quickly as this stuff dries very fast, so take another stick and align the short sides together, like so and you're just going to press them together, pretty firmly be careful not to push too hard, or else you might accidentally break a stick. We don't want that, so we're going to continue doing this until we have a full square and voila. We have one down and one more to go. Also, if you find that these squares are still a bit flimsy, you can still go back into the inner corners of the clip with some glue to further support it. There we go once again, we'll repeat the process for the next square, and now we're done. I think they look amazing for four dollars worth of supplies. Four dollars guys i mean come on. You can't get any better than this for a last minute, cosplay edition or fix. Oh, and that's me, giving you a small try on for these. I'M going to show you two ways of how you can wear them, so i'm dumb and i left my miku wig back at home, so we're going to pretend that i have miku's twin tails with me by using these hair clips. These are basically the same types used in twin tail wigs anyway, so we're going to stick the squares around the center of the clips and clamp that shut. I mean look at how secure that is, though, okay, so let's put this onto our base, wig aka, my actual head, and that sits actually pretty nicely and comfortably also notice. It doesn't move, that's pretty important, i think, and here's the other side alrighty so they're on, and that looks just about right, very, very nice and oh, do we see that shine? These actually look great and very, very similar to miku's real clips. Speaking of clips for those of you who still want the og clip action, you can still glue this type of alligator clip along the inside of the squares. I personally find that it's easier without, but it's totally up to you, of course, and you would just kind of stick it into your hair like that. Okay, i know i'm way too old to pull off this hairstyle. But here we are. This obviously, is not the most stable or secure way to wear these, but i wanted to give you all a visual of how these could look in miku's hair. As we all know, she has pigtails. So i'm kind of just slipping my hair through and balancing them on top of my ears. You obviously wouldn't want to wear them like this, but again it's only a visual example of how they could look now, if you wanted to wear them like this, is just a regular fun accessory. You might want to include the alligator clip into them to be more secure already, my friends, so that's all i have for you all today, thanks so much for watching leave a like if you found this tutorial helpful subscribe if you'd like - and i will see you In my next video toodaloo take care, i love you.
