Hair Clips

It is a beautiful day here in Arizona. My doors are open, I spent most of the morning outside, and now my wonderful mother-in-law just whisked Noah away for the day. So that means Luke and I get ample time to cuddle and play, but it also means I get many hours to clean, craft and blog! Yay for me, and yay for grandparents, so onto my first project I have been obsessed with.

Flowers! This craft project is so simple and has gorgeous results! I had found, at Michaels, a small packed of these flowers for over 4 dollars. They were meant for hair clips (and had feathers attached) but were no where near as pretty as the ones I saw on this blog. And so I thought I can accomplish that. She suggests on her blog to make them with certain fabrics (I believe tulle, satin and organza) and I would agree. Since I did try other fabrics and well they curled up and died on me (you must see the blog to understand why!) I have dabbled a bit in the world of beading so I had these Swarovski pearls already on hand for the flowers middle. I think they make them elegant, next try crystals!

So there you have it. The day is now almost over, I got to have a wonderful afternoon cuddling Luke who, by the way, burst out laughing today. So fun!
