Hair Bow makers?

Anyone else out there? I'm so addicted! I do some flowers and felt clips too. Soon I will need a 12 step program. DD1's nursery school is going to think I'm nuts b/c I don't think she has worn the same clip there twice! Ha! I'd love to see photos of your stuff too. I'm always searching Etsy for new inspiration!

Re: Hair Bow makers?

Yes....ME! My DD is only 10mos and she has a rediculous amount of clips! I have done bows, just plain ribbon covered, flowers, felt clips. I can't stop and now I make them for all the little girls I know too because I figure, why not, I have the stuff. Lol!!

I'd love to share ideas

Re: Hair Bow makers?

yes, let's totally share ideas!!!! let's post some pics! My 2 girls have such a ridiculous amount too. Ok, I'm making dinner but I'll come back to this. Maybe I'll start an album on LIF to show you what I've made them.

Re: Hair Bow makers?

Yeahy! Fun!!! I just snapped these quick, can't wait to see what you have made

Basics


Getting a little more creative

Re: Hair Bow makers?

I see you have been shopping at Target in the $1 section (I've gotten a bunch of that ribbon too). I've wiped out Dollar Tree b/c they have 4 yards of 7/8 grosgrain...so I've bought 15 colors! I did well at Michaels this week too. I got a lot of felt embellishments that were 12 or 24 for either .89 cents or $1. I don't know what I'll do with that many, but I've got them. I also got some felt craft kits for .17 and .49 (one easter and one flowers) that I won't use for their purposes.

I can't get my bitty bows to look as nice as the ones I've bought. I like yours! Did you stitch some? I'm so not into sewing! Ha!

Anyway, I took some pretty pictures! I love my Nikon D40 too.

Here are a few recent ones (I don't know why the first loopy bow pic is so big!):

Re: Hair Bow makers?

BTW, my DD2 turns 9 months next week. I wish she had hair! I have a few snap clippies that will stay in her few strands of hair, but that's it! I'm the queen of non-slip grip in my clips! I use shelf liner in a skin tone. Do you put it in? What do you use?

Re: Hair Bow makers?

Oh, I love them. Very cute.

Do you have any directions you can share for the ones like the purple bow?

I don't sew either, but I did on the 2 felt ones just to add a little something to it.

I ordered the plain metal alligator clips from etsy and they gave me little grippies with them.

Not sure how much you pay on etsy, but just so you know you can get alligator cilps at Sally's. They are $5.99 for a box of 100. They don't come with a grip, but you can easily add it.

Re: Hair Bow makers?

thanks! I've always loved making stuff. I get really bored with one style so I make lots of different things...and I get a rush walking around a craft store trying to find stuff to glue onto clips!

this one is relatively new but she's got some awesome tutorials!

Another Blog!

Re: Hair Bow makers?

Re: Hair Bow makers?

I love everything that you ladies are making! I've lined alligator clips with different ribbon and want to learn how to make bows. The last thing I made was a flower headband for DD's birthday. I made a matching flower on an alligator clip for myself too!
