The Mod Melts are available in Sea Glass {clear} and Milk Glass {cloudy} and look like long sticks of hot glue. You use them with a high temp glue gun. Once heated, you fill the mold with the melt and allow it to cool completely, which takes about three minutes unless you have a really large design.
Along with the melts and molds in my package, I received a sponge brush and several colors of Folk Art acrylic paint. I thought these hearts were just the perfect size to turn into some DIY jewelry for a few of the little ladies in LC’s life, so I painted them with blue, purple, and pink Folk Art paint, then sprinkled fine glitter on top while the paint was still wet.
Once everything was dry, I glued them onto some bobby pins…cute, aren’t they?
I also tried gluing one to a necklace bail. It’s a tiny little charm, just the right size for any little princesses you might happen to know.

This looks like something my girls and I could have a lot of fun with. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it in stores.

Great job with the bobby pins. I really appreciate knowing that it may be more tricky– I get frustrated when I don’t get a perfect result like the pictures the first time through! 🙂

My daughter just asked me if I could make her something using the heart mold, I love the hair accessories and seeing as I have no less than 100 bobby pins laying about guess what I’m going to make … possibly to match every outfit :).
Here’s my tip for the more detailed molds like the crown. Bend the mold so those tiny little sections are spread open a little wider, quickly fill them then lay the mold flat before the melts dry, you have to work fast though. It was a little trial and error to figure this out when I was making the crowns for Miss M.

Such cute heart clips..
Kirsten Holm says
These are adorable! How did you glue the hearts to the bobby pins? Did you use something other than hot glue? I’m not sure that would hold the narrow pin and the smooth surface of the heart together for very long. What process did you use ?
Allie says
It looks like she used pins with glue pads on them, they have flat circles on the end of the bobby pin, so you have room to decorate. And then the glue doesn’t really matter.
Amy Anderson says
So cute! This is the most fun little jewelry!
