I've noticed in photos from the 1940s that berries and branches, or branches of flowers, were common hair accessories, often used as headbands across the top of the head - even to the overboard kind that looked all twiggy. So when I found a package of these flower stamens, I had an idea.
The berries, in their cherry red color, reminded me of Christmas. But you can use any color! And, while the stems should be longer, these stayed fairly well. I bent them in half...
...and found them perfect hair ornaments, either used in clusters or singly, nestled in pin curls or in groups, as many or few as you wish. They are so light that they don't weigh down your hair at all. A bobby pin helps to hold fractious ones in place. Perfect retro styling for the holidays!
