Danceshopper . com carries this. But the selection is limited and a bit pricey. Anyone knows where else I can buy hair jewelry? Or how to DIY?

Considering they are handmade by Bobby and or Ann, it might be a little hard to find them elsewhere.

You could try making them yourself.

I have one of these from Bobby. Yah, it's pricey, but it's versatile and great, and I don't regret the splurge. Have also contemplated making one. But...haven't mobilized to bring out my creative side that way as yet.
 
Mmm...I guess I could...just cut my hair from very long (for as long as I can remember) to bob length with bangs. Now have to rethink my comp hair options. Can't put all of it up, but if I swept the front back, I could use the sparkly thing to hide the pins.....
 
FWIW, the synthetic appliques do not dye well in our experience, so make sure to get either natural fiber, or one that's right color to start. :)

But stone it yourself, probably liquid latex on back, and go for it.

The fabric has kind of a rubbery backing...

I bought mine from a local dance studio, mine doesn't have that kind of rubbery backing.

do you use glue it to your hair with the rubbery back? I have to use hair pin to pin them to my hair.

plus I don't regret the splurge. It's the best kind of hair pieces I've bought:)
 
If you're just interested in some sparkly hair pieces that are easy to make and less expensive, the best bet I think is to buy appliques and stone them with size 16ss or so stones. :)

If you're wanting something that looks like what is on the danceshopper site, I think it would be less headache to go ahead and buy one, especially since the bases on those pieces seem to be crafted by the maker and not commercially available (that I can find, anyway). It looks like at least four different sizes of stones were used, which would put you out close to $40 (depending on where you shop) buying one gross of each. (I am guessing sizes 12, 16, 20, 30?) You'd have stones left over, of course, but I'm not sure you'd have enough of the correct sizes to make multiple matching hair pieces.

Anyway, good luck!
 
Danz Z carries some that are quite nice.
You can always make them---go to a fabric store---but an aplicay---and start stoning!!
Another idea is to but strips of clear bra strap fabric and stone each strip--but you only get straight lines
