Pin TRY: DIY Hair Accessories

Oh Hay!

Happy Tuesday, blog world. What a great start to my week. The weather was really nice today annnnnnd I got my hair cut. Yayyy!! I am notorious for delaying and procrastinating on getting my hair "did," and it grows really fast at that. My hair was almost all the way down my back. Way too long and it got to the point where I didn't want to style or mess with it at all.

I chopped off a good six inches and was a little nervous as I watched it all hit the ground. But, my stylist did a great job, as she always does, and I feel super cute with my new 'do! 

Snow White headband and rose

So, in having cute hair, what better to make than new barrettes and hair bows. I found a link on Pinterest with super cute ideas for headbands, clips, etc. Most of these items, I'll admit, are a little too young for me to be wearing. But, I wanted to at least try this craft just to see if I could do it! Turns out, I can....sort of. Haha, well you be the judge.

LSU flower headband, pumpkin, and rose barrettes

Here is the original pin, and here's another that taught me exactly what I needed to do. I packed up and went to Michael's to gather up some ribbon and some head gear. I got multi-colored headbands and barrettes to start. This site shows you how to do everything. Basically, you'll just have to cut and glue your ribbons into different shapes. Here are the two pictures of what I came up with. The Snow White headband was HARD and took me a while and I struggled big time. I showed it to my mom and she told me in the sweetest, most southern Louisiana way, that it was ugly. Thanks, Mom. She did approve of the picture on the left. I ended up giving the pumpkin, rose, and flower headband to my boss' little 5 year old girl. She loves them - or so they tell me. At any rate, these are really cute and not hard to make (excluding Snow White). If you need a cute and easy gift idea for a little girl, I would suggest this one. 

Happy crafting!
