Make A Fused Glass
Ponytail Holder

A metal "u" clip is epoxied to the rear of the fused glass pieces with two part epoxy glue, the ponytail elastic is held in place by the clip.

Clips come in packs of ten, and are made from lead free pewter.

The glass ponytail holder can be made from any color glass and pattern as well as different dichroic pieces.

Opaque and transparent colors can be used

There is no set size for the glass as it can be cut to suit individual styles.

After glass fusing the clip and ponytail elastic are glued in place.

Through the use of different glasses and paint or glass powders very stylish and bright holders can be made.

This project has been made with Bullseye glass.
