To help prevent cabin fever, I have gone back to my crafting ways. I wasn't going to do any projects the first couple of months of my daughter's life, because I didn't want too much on my plate. But there is only so much reading and watching movies I can take as a shut in. So I've started making stuff again. Girly Stuff!
I made HEADBANDS! (Some people I'm related to, do not like little girls in headbands. I love them! Assuming they don't leave read elastic marks on their head, I think that is sad.) I made the fat nylon headband.

Here is the purple collection. Obviously she does not have hair for the plain clips, but I was in the mood.
I bought all these pretty gerber daiseys at Michaels, unfortunately I didn't measure her head in comparsion. They are the same size, they will have to wait.
The best for her head size, are scrapbooking flower embelleshments. Here are some solids I made.
Here are the poka dots!
so fun! and amazing work :) I don't even attempt crafts.
ReplyDeletewhen I have a girl, I will come to you to get the instructions on how to make these- I have heard its super cheap!
ReplyDeleteYou need to teach me! Where do you find the flowers and what do you use for the thick headbands. I bought some for my girls but they weren't cheap. Please email me at jenny.rosenlof@gmail.com I'd love to make some more for my girls. I wish I was naturally crafty but I'm pathetic. Not sure why I have two girls, haha!
ReplyDeleteI was just at Quilted Bear today checking out headbands, trying to figure out how to make some on my own. So I am wondering where you got your supplies, I know the flowers are from the craft store, but what about the alligator clips? And did you just hot glue the flowers and the center "jewel embellishment" thing together? And by the way, I am so jelious that you have so much time to do fun stuff like this and have the two kids! I can hardly find time to shower some days, it's ridiculous! So good for you!!
ReplyDeleteDue to popular request I will make a post about how to. I don't know if I do it the "correct" way, but it worked for me. Hopefully I won't get anyones hopes up, and then them think these are not professional they are not. I don't have time to do this. But I chose to instead of doing things like showering or cooking dinner. Not to mention I have a three year gap, so my first is a little more self manageable. Not to mention when I made these my husband was home. He was being nice so I wouldn't go insane I'm sure. I'm not that motherly or domestic.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I think headbands are cute and all, I just don't like trying to keep them on the squirmy little fiend. I have a hard enough time keeping my sanity in places like church without adding one more thing to jostle.
ReplyDeleteYellow is a good color for your baby, mine doesn't do so well in yellow.
When I said some of my relatives, I was referring to my sister and dad.
