Hair Bows, pt 3

After making so many little girl bows, I couldn't help but make some that older girls might want. These definitely have more of a rockabilly feel, and I have a bit of a weakness for the rockabilly style. These are bright colors and simple black plaid ribbon are sculpted into simple bows and attached to lined alligator clips.

The pink bow is a double bow with a total of four loops. It is so funky and fun. The second picture shows a set of six simple bows, two of each color, purple, pink and blue. I love the idea of selling sets of ribbons, mixing colors and patterns, so that customers can get a little more bang for their buck. Pay one low price and get accessories for multiple outfits. I love bargains - even the ones I create.

Hair Bows, pt 2

More little girl hair bows. These are so quick to make and I just love the almost instant gratification of making these. All of these about 2" wide and are mounted on lined alligator clips with clip liners for a little added grip when being worn

 

These clips will also be sold in sets of two pairs. That's right, four super sweet  little hair bows for one low price. I have lots more ribbon with adorable patterns that will make the cutest little bows. I can't wait to add more to the shop.

Hair Bows, pt 1

I finally got some pictures of the hair bows I've been making. These will all be listed for sale in my etsy shop, but you get a preview here! All these bows are about 2" wide and are on lined alligator clips (except for the the blue polka dot bows). They also feature clip liners which give the clips a little more grip in the hair.

The above bows are petite little bows, but I love the polka dots. These are attached to short bobby pins and are just too stinkin' cute.

The Sweet Treats bows pictured above are in light purple and pink. The pink bows have cute little cupcakes while the purple bows have ice cream cones. These will be so adorable over the summer with a cute sundress.

These are a little more dressy with the glitter vine design. I love the idea of these with an adorable little Sunday dress.

I love making these little bows and am already planning to make more for my shop. They will be sold in sets of two so you will get four adorable bows for one low price! I am really excited about these and hope others will love seeing them added to my inventory.

Hair Flowers With A Little Bling

So my bride was not sure if she wanted to wear a tiara or not. So I made this side tiara as a possible alternative for her. 


Two simple satin flowers with glass rhinestone accents that their centers. Cup chain rhinestones are wire wrapped to the metal headband, adding a little bit of glitz to a very simple hair accessory.

As you can see, the flowers are offset in such a way that the flowers can be worn on either side.

In the end, my bride decided to stick to just a veil. So, I have put this lovely bridal hair accessory in my etsy shop - just in case you want to make this little beauty all yours!

Pretty Little Hair Bows

Everyone knows a little girl that loves to dress up. Whether its a daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin or friend, little girls have a need to 'feel pretty' by dressing up and doing their hair. Making hair bows in all shapes, sizes and colors gives them many options of handmade goodies to play with.

Hair bows are surprisingly simple and inexpensive to make. You don't need expensive ribbons, tools or supplies. I personally love going to Michaels and Joanns to find clearance and on-sale ribbons. The snap clips can also be purchased at these big name craft supply store, however I haven't had much luck finding the alligator clips in my local stores. I was able to find a great seller on Etsy with incredibly affordable prices. I was even able to find self-adhesive no-slip grips for the clips from the same seller.

The Ribbon Retreat has a wonderful selection of instructions for the most popular styles. The instructions are in pdf format and have lots of detailed pictures. Just think of making beautiful hair accessories to match any or your little princess' outfits.

And don't think that these can't be made for older princess'. Simple bows are very popular among pre-teens through college aged girls, who love to accent their personal style. Give these a try and you'll be hooked.

Happy Crafting!
