Most hijabi sisters I know spend a fortune on accessories that sit in their drawers after three wears. I discovered the opposite approach five years ago when I couldn’t find hijab pins that matched a burgundy outfit — so I made my own. These DIY tutorials take 10-20 minutes each, cost less than store-bought alternatives, and you can customize every detail.
Before making your own accessories, see what’s available commercially. Our hijab accessories guide covers 25 ways to accessorize your hijab with jewelry — the principles there apply equally to bought and handmade pieces. For the underscarf foundation that holds all these accessories in place, see our underscarf guide.
Step-by-step DIY Hijab Accessory Tutorials
Start with the right adhesive
Fabric glue creates flexibility that moves with your hijab without cracking. Regular craft glue fails after a few wears.
Thread beads with purpose
The gradient from light to dark creates visual movement. For colour coordination guidance — matching your beads to your hijab palette — see our hijab styles Instagram guide for colour combination inspiration.
Add flowers for special occasions
Fresh flowers work for weddings and Eid. For complete Eid outfit inspiration that your accessories can complement, see winter hijab outfits and our general hijab tutorials guide for how to style each accessory with the right wrap method.
Organize with scarf hangers
This hanger system with shower curtain rings transforms hijab storage. Each ring holds 3-4 hijabs without creating creases. Pair with a dedicated accessories organizer so your DIY pins stay visible.
