Hair Clippies

I found myself the other day with 5 minutes in which I actually had nothing to do, so of course I went to my craft pile, looked around and found some ribbon and a hair clip. Voila, the five minute craft project.

1. Materials, you'll need some ribbon and hair clips. You'll be surprised how little actually ribbon you need. I used about 2 inches of ribbon per hair clip. I used hot glue, but fabric glue or even crazy glue can work.

2. Start glueing the ribbon from the inside of the hair clip as shown.

3. Keep glueing the ribbon around the hair clip. I like to glue it to the inside of the back part as well. 

4. Add your embellishment. I used a really small piece of red ribbon I found laying around to do the little bow.  Voila! you have adorable hair clippies and all of 5 minutes to create.

Here's another set I created !

It's a Girl!

Today I wanted to share with you a birth announcement I made for a couple who was waiting for a beautiful baby girl. They opted for a fill-in version of a birth announcement. I thought it was a great idea! I remember when my first child was born I wanted to create the most beautiful, over the top baby announcement. I took hundreds of pictures and had tons of ideas but with no time time to sleep, yet alone get on the computer, I never got around to actually making them. In retrospect, I wish I would have thought of making these fill-in baby announcements before the baby had arrived!
