Zebra Accessory

One of my sweet little girls that comes to my preschool showed up the other day in the cutest black & white outfit/hair bow! Her skirt was black & white zebra with black netting at the bottom & she had cute white leggings on.

I wish I could pull an outfit like that off;)

Well a few weeks ago, we went to the cabin and I made SEVERAL hair bows. 

Now, I don't have girls so I don't really know WHY I made several hair bows, but that is beside the point. 

This particular one was a little too sassy for me, but when I saw this cute little girl walk in for preschool, I knew it was going home with her!

She already had a cute hairbow in, so I clipped it to her strap & sent her on her way...

CUTE!!!

Rosette Tutorial

I've been wanting to do a rosette headband & found a great tutorial HERE

Headband Hoopla

I have seen a million tutorials for fabric flowers & I have probably tried most of them, but I promise you this one is the EASIEST. 2 MINUTES tops to make yourself a flower.

I decided to make me up some headbands this morning.
The tutorial I saw originally(can't remember where I saw it or I would post) called for buttons in the middle, but I decided to pull out this bag of my grandma's old beads. I have NO IDEA WHY, but when she passed away 13 years ago, I took a box of broken necklaces, eager to one day restring them & have something from her.

Also in that bag were a handful of CLIP ON EARRINGS...that I promise I will NEVER wear. Because clip-ons hurt. So I decided I could use those earrings for my project today...

Besides, this bag has sat unopened for 13 years, so I figure it was about time to use them!

Plug in your hot glue gun & cut a circle from a scrap of fabric...

Hot glue gun will be ready when you are done cutting your circle.
I don't know how well you can see this...
but basically put a dot of glue in the center & then fold edge of fabric to the center...
keep doing that until all your edges are now glued to the center.

Find a clip on earring...or button...or whatever you want to use & glue to the top.
Then grab a headband(I picked these up for $.99 for 4 headbands at Burlington this weekend-I'm guessing the $1 store would have them) & glue your flower on. This ENTIRE process took about 2 minutes...

Again?
Cut a circle of fabric...

Fold & glue in center...

Add embellishment...

Glue to headband...or pin to your shirt or skirt or belt or WHATEVER you want!

EASY...PEASY!!!!!!!!
