What I Made This Weekend #19

A little story behind these first two headbands. I have a real estate customer that had 6-7 old shirts that did not fit him anymore and asked me if I wanted them for my husband to wear. I said sure and brought them home. My husband never wore them since they were button down shirts. Last year my husband lost 45 lbs and now wears a size large shirts these x-large shirts are way to big for him and he never wore them anyways. I liked the designs on them and got thinking these would make perfect headbands I just happened to have some shirts that matched them. So here are two headbands that I made out of old button down shirts.

My new obsession is rhinestone buttons. I have a ton of them now lol. I listed some of my Shabby J Headwraps on Etsy and now they all have the rhinestone buttons on them. Wow! they look so much better with “bling”.

Here they are with bling (If you are interested in them click on the picture it will take you to my etsy site). These are the actual headwraps you will receive and ready to ship.

The first picture is of my daughter wearing a headwrap:

Here is what is on my Etsy site:

Product Review ~ Pampered Princess Pretties ~ Chiffon Bows

I have been so excited to show you these chiffon bows that Pampered Princess Pretties is selling. These bows are the cutest! They come in two different sizes. The large bow measures approx. 4.2” x 2.2”. The smaller bow measures approx. 2.4” x 1.5”. Click Here to see/purchase these bows.

I made some of my chiffon bows up to show you some different things you can do with them. I added “Bling” to them they do not come this way but you can add what ever centers to these that you want.

Here are some of the colors that Pampered Princess Pretties offers:

Larger chiffon bows.

Smaller chiffon bows. I made two of each since I like to use two smaller bows at a time in my daughters hair.

These are the rest of the colors with out rhinestone buttons (bling) on them. They look great either way it is up to you to decorate them or not.

This is what I did with the bows on the back side. They will come with some mesh on the back that will need to be trimmed. I traced around one of the large bows and one of smaller bows with a piece of paper making a template then cut it a little smaller that the original size so it would fit better with out going over the bow. I did have to trim each bow since all of them were a little different. I then took a piece of felt and used my templates to cut out backings for each of these bows and hot glued them on the back of the bows to make them a little more stiff and to have something to attach my clips to.

This is the back with some covered hair clips. They are hot glued on the back. I used two of them for the larger bow to clip on headbands. I like to be able to reuse my headbands so I never glue bows to headbands.
