another fabric rosette

Here's another fabric rosette hairbow that I made Parlee to go with an adorable new outfit I just made her, and will hopefully get pictures posted of!




Have you made a fabric rosette hairbow yet??? If not, why?

Love,

~Scallop Circle hairbows~

Joely has a 5th grade class store, parents can send items in with their children to donate to the class store.

Joely really wanted to make some hair bows, so we made some simple ones made with some scallop circles I already had cut out of some material.

The kids wear uniforms to school, so I was trying to stick to some of the school colors like the red, and navy blue.

We clipped each hairbow onto a ribbon that was attached to a piece of scallop circled cardstock. then each bow was wrapped in a celophane bag.....I must admit they looked pretty darn cute all packaged up for the class store.

The bows themselves were fast to make, simple circles folded into 1/4ths then glued onto a clip.

Love,

Have you seen the fabric hair bows that are starting to gain some popularity?




Well they are so easy to make.....Easy Peasy in fact!


Start with the fabric you want to use....just about any fabric will work, but if it's shear and thin, plan on possibly getting some hot glue gun burns later on ;-) This sample is cotton.




Rip a strip of fabric, this is the width of the fabric, and I didnt use it all. If you are making a cluster of 2-3 flowers each strip will be smaller in length to make smaller flowers. The fabric is about 1-1.5 inches wide.





Make a knot at the end of one side of your strip. Try to get as close to the end as possible.....if you dont get it right on the end, just cut off the excess. This knot will be the center of the flower.



Twist the strip a little bit, then glue knot down.



Continue twisting and adding hot glue to anchor the flower to the strip of fabric.








Twist and glue until the flower is the size you want, when it is, cut the strip off.



Take the little piece of fabric and glue it to the underside of the flower.



Now take some felt and cut it slightly smaller then the flower.



Hot glue flower onto hair clip, headband or whatever it's going on.



Then glue felt down to secure it to the clip.





Enjoy....or make some more.



This one will match perfectly with the dress I made parlee for her 1st birthday, but never posted pictures of her wearing the outfit...so here she is on her first birthday, sans the new hairbow ;-)






Love,

Flower bows

Who doesn't love an instantly gratifying project?

Making a simple flower bow is just that project!

I have a drawer with hair clip's, flowers, etc. so if I need to make a quick hair bow I can.
....and isnt that little model so stinkin' cute!

Fabulous Flowers

Fabulous!


More fabric flowers, each flower is made with cotton material sandwiching a layer of batting and then sewn together.



I make two of three different flowers depending on the project, in different sizes.

then sew the flowers together to make a multi-layered flower....
I've used these flowers in various projects, like the pillowcase dresses. These were just attached to an alligator clip.

Singed Flowers

Here's some sneak peeks at some beautiful singed flowers I made for a wedding





Wont these look so beautiful in the little server girls hair. They have nine different fabrics, from Taffeta, organza, tulle, shantung and more. I think the end result was perfect!
