Crafty-ness

With an addiction to hobby lobby and pinterest, there is no real need to explain why I love to create! I have two little cousins that I love to craft for and with they are always an inspiration. I love turning an everyday item into something chic and unique!

...Not just for little girls!

I have been making hair bows for almost a year now... and finally found a use for one for my 25 year old self.  I was recently trying to think of a way for my 8 year old cousin who is a little Asian tom boy with short hair to wear something in her hair.  I decided to make her a soccer clip.  I just took some soccer ribbon and hot glued it to a alligator clip.  Her little sister is playing soccer so I decided she just might wear one to her game!  Well, as we were all getting ready for the game Lydia (my cousin) decided against wearing the clip, so I threw it in my own hair.  The teams colors are red and black so I dressed in her colors and even sported a matching hair clip. I also made sam 6 different soccer bows for her pigtails that had to have the french barrette on them because "I might run to fast for the other cliplies  LuLu"

Little Letters

Once again I have been bit by the Pinterest bug and fell in love with creating girly little frames with initials in them.  They were SO inexpensive to make.  I purchased a $3 frame from Dollar General and then went to hobby lobby for sparkly paper and an initial or two which cost about a $1.50.  I had the tulle and jewels already so really this was just something fun for me to make for a couple girly girls to display in their bedroom.

The finished product!  I had so much fun making these and like I said it was so inexpensive!!
