Wear your heart on your...

Wear your heart on your... head. A cute little clippie set for Valentine's Day. I attached 3/8" red ribbon with white hearts to a single prong alligator clip. I think these are best without a center or an applique.

2 Hearts

2 Hearts become 1 set. It seems I am late jumping on the Valentine's Day wagon. But here is a simple clippie set for the munchkin to don during the month on February. It's a white partially pre-lined white (single prong) alligator clip. I used a sequin heat applique. I arranged it so one can be worn in each side.

Surround a bow?

In my quest to make the perfect bow. I am attempting to master the twisted boutique bow and the ultimate over the top bow. A lot of the over the top bows, incorporate the surround a bow. I am working on a Valentine stacked bow for the munchkin. Here is part one. Pardon the little clippie. I needed something to display it.

Here is an example- of the damask ribbon I am working on using as the center of the bow. The middle bow needs to be a lot larger to fill the surround portion.

Ordering another gator bit. I find that hand creasing bows doesn't work for me...hence the thread peeking through underneath the applique! 

I used 3/8" red with white hearts ribbon for the surround a bow. Great tutorial on MommyCraftsAlot.

Put some BLING on it!

It was difficult to get a picture of my bow today. The bling was just too much for the camera. Put some BLING on it! was inspired by a tutorial I found on Fabric Bows and More: Thin Ribbon Bows by A Girl and a Glue Gun. I had difficulty following the simple directions but here is my version of her Thin Ribbon Bows. I included a side shot of the munchkin. You can finally see what I mean about having to create very small bows for her short hair. Till tomorrow...

Lil Lady Bug

My first boutique style hair bow is complete. Lil Lady Bug was created with red & black  polka dot  and 3/8" black grosgrain ribbons. Below is the tutorial I found online to help me make it. I also spent a good portion of the day rolling up my ribbon. (Only took an hour thanks to my cousin, L'Tosha for helping.) So many ideas came up today, I'm going to start keeping a journal so I don't forget the suggestions.
