Wholesale Pinwheel Hair Bows

I have recently added these 3" pinwheel hairbows to my etsy store. I love the simple design and perfect size for any occasion bows. My daughter can put these on with any outfit and it won't weigh down her head. They won't pull out of her hair throughout the day. I have started offering these as a wholesale lot. You get to pick 5 bows for $6. That is a great price and perfect to order extras and keep as rewards, birthday gifts for friends, or just get one for every outfit you have. If you would like another color or pattern that you do not see let me know and maybe I can find what you are looking for and creat a special order for you. I am hoping to add solid colors soon.

My First Boutique Bow

I am starting on a new craft...Bowmaking! So far this has been a lot of fun. I never thought I could actually make bows myself. I had bought some from stores and another crafter and decided to stop spending the money on them and make them myself. They were not as easy as I had hoped they would be.

I thought I could make these bows easily. I thought it was be so quick to pick out the ribbon and make gorgeous bows for my daughter. I was wrong on all levels.

I sat in front of the ribbon at Hobby Lobby for several minutes and couldn't decide. It just seemed like nothing was the perfect pattern or size. Then I would have to find a center ribbon. I ended up leaving with one or two rolls each time, but then it just sat at my house. I bought a few more at Wal-Mart and some more at Dollar Tree. Those were my practice rolls.

Making them was another thing. I tried twisted bows and even though I can make them I am not very impressed with them. I love making pinwheel bows and think they are the perfect size and not too heavy. But todays post is about Perky Loops. These are not easy but I love how they look. Above is a picture of my first one that I turned into a boutique bow by adding spikes.

My First Bow

This is the first pinwheel bow I made. I did not use a template to measure it. I just kept playing with the ribbon until it turned out how I wanted it to. I am overall happy with the way it looks, but I know I did it the hard way! Live and learn! Check out my shop at etsy!

Cricut Cat Homemade Valentines

I started to make Valentines with my daughter and then my son wanted to make his. This is what we came up with. He wanted a cat and he outlines all the features with a pen and used a stamp pad and Qu-tip to fill in the nose and mouth. He did a really good job. I usually don't get to make things like this with my boys, but sometimes I forget how much they like arts and crafts too.

Lovely Lion Valentine Box

We made this for my son's Valentine Party at school. We used an oatmeal container, toilet paper tubes, and craft paper. The Lion's Mane is made using hearts. Great way to incorporate hearts into a design. I found this on the Cricut Message board. What a fun idea and kids can make this and it didn't cost us a lot of money.

These purses hold a Hershey Nugget. They are tiny and so simple to make. I made them for my daughter's birthday party. How sweet!

Here is a link to directions on how to make these Nugget Purses. This blog is for a Stampin Up Demonstrator. I love all of her tutorials and videos.
