How to Make Balled Head Pins ~ Hair Styling Tips

A balled head pin is a small piece of wire with a ball on the end. The piece of wire and ball--which can be any type of metal, such as silver, gold or bronze--come together by melting the wire with a flame so the wire balls up, according to How-To-Make-Jewelry.com. Jewelry and hair accessories are just some of the common uses for balled head pins, which find many applications in crafts and other projects.

Instructions

Put on non-flammable work gloves and protective goggles.

Cut your wire with wire cutters, to a length that is slightly longer than you need for your finished pin.

Grab the wire with pliers close to one end.

Ignite a torch lighter and hold the other end of the wire in the blue part of the flame. The wire will melt and form a ball. Torch lighters with a "clicker" mechanism for igniting the flame simplify this task

Remove the wire from the flame once the ball is formed and pour water on it. Wait 20 minutes, then polish the balled pin with steel wool to complete it.
