In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn techniques and tricks that will have you creating beautiful, unique and professional looking French style hair Barrettes in any style, size and surface technique you wish. Lessons learned in this tutorial include, silk screening, molding, texturing, layering, using canes, riveting and setting eyelets in polymer clay.

Cindy's new way of connecting using the rivets instead of the clay on the back of the barrettes... what a nicer finish to my and everyone else's beautiful work.

I love that Cindy really listens to her members and covers every important detail of each step so we finish up with an item of quality. Keep well… cheers xx.

Another grand slam Cindy! A while ago, I had given up on making Barrett's because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find a way to keep them together! So thank you for doing this tutorial series.


~Susan-R


I’m so happy that Cindy Lietz taught us how to secure barrettes without glue or clay :) I can now sell them without worry!


~Sherry-L


Wow - this video set is FULL OF INFO!! You are right - you made the mistakes so we don't have to. Many thanks for that. What interesting ways of using your methods! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of your videos. I have used so many in my projects - and will continue to watch FOREVER. I am addicted (but in a good way LOL).


~Patt-W


What fun I am going to have. I have done a few barrettes before, but the glue did not hold and I gave up on that idea pretty quickly. My Granddaughter will be happy that she now gets more barrettes that will last longer.

Hi Cindy, Loved this set of French Barrette videos. Such a lot of priceless information and different techniques. Have always wanted to do silk screening, so a BIG thanks Cindy, you make it so easy. Love rivets, eyelets and other metal fasteners. Also a neat way to use canes that you haven't made into beads… love it.


~Eliane-F


Cindy, your videos are well done and informative and probably the best I have see. I like that you explain everything from start to finish and your knowledge is vast. I will definitely be sending people your way.


~Leanne-K


Yay - hair barrettes are my next step in my repertoire for the shop!


~Sandra-J


This is a very exciting project for me. I have never worked with barrettes. I love the steampunk look as well as all the others. The scarf barrette is gorgeous Cindy, and the endless ways to do these is exciting.


~DixieAnn-S


Wow that is so cool! I have made a couple of barrettes using the glue method, but as you rightly pointed out, one of them has already come apart. Am looking forward to getting "stuck" into this one. I am going to be in France in a couple of weeks so I may even get some French Barrette ideas there.


~Sandra-J


YAY, no more upset customers and embarrassed me ;) and so many other techniques you are teaching us. Really looking forward to moving my product line up a few notches - Thanx.


~Sherry-L


Lots of good ideas here. I've made a few barrettes with glue and pushing the top pc into the holes.


~Freda-K


Love this! I really enjoyed the silk screening. Often wondered about trying that technique. Rivets are the way to go.


~Catalina-L


I look at what I had made BC (before Cindy) and know that without finding this great site, that my venture into PC would have been over. I am now proud of my AC (after Cindy) items, and although I own practically every PC book that has been published, Cindy has that way that makes it easy to follow instructions.


~Elaine-F


I agree with everything Elaine says about Cindy and Doug. They certainly are a very talented pair. They not only create these amazing videos with wonderful close-work that makes it so easy to see, they have also created an welcoming atmosphere which is so friendly and helpful.


~Marion-R


Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D


~Michelle-C


Hi Cindy, thank you for helping get my credit card updated. I love your tutorials and don't want to miss or lose any of them.


~Denise-O


Some really useful info there, Cindy! I don't do "hair stuff" other than using a plain ponytail holder for sport to ensure I can actually see, but the assembly techniques could be applied to all sorts of other things where glue might not hold permanently enough.


~Sue-F


Thank u Cindy for all the things I am learning from you. Absolutely wonderful.


~Sharon-S


Loved covering the hair barrettes. This was so much fun and I got a little crazy decorating them.


~DixieAnn-S


This project is amazing Cindy, I love the way you guys separated the videos - very logical - so many tips in just this one tutorial!! What a deal!!


~Sherry-L


I agree … the price of these tutorials is ridiculous - Cindy and Doug don’t read this! : )


~Maria-C


Cindy - I am finding your videos very informative, and wish I could just stay home from work to play with clay all day. Thank you for keeping your prices very reasonable.


~Candice-D


Wowza, this tute is AMAZING! It’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. Cindy - great job, you outdo yourself with every tute! 


~Karen-R


Wow, another innovative problem solving technique, Cindy! Love all the designs! For someone with thick heavy hair, I cannot count the number of over-the-counter barrettes that have cracked to bits. The combination of well-baked, well-finished Premo, combined with the rivet/eyelet solution, is ingenious.


~Jocelyn-C


Cindy you are beyond amazing! How many books would I have to read to gain all the knowledge you have presented here? And then would I actually understand what I read??? Again, where would we get all this knowledge if not from our clay family. You are all so wonderful and generous. Love you all.


~Joyce-F


Thanks for more wonderful tips and great filming Cindy and Doug. You are both very much appreciated.


~Peggy-B
