Hey everyone! I just wanted to pop in for a moment and share a fun,
new DIY! As a Pinterest addict I can say first hand that I've seen my
fair share of fabric flowers floating around. They're all the rage! I
can't help but be obsessed with them just as much as the next bloke
soooo indeed... I made a fabric flower! I believe I'll be making a
couple {or 20+} more.   Here's the tutorial...

ITEMS NEEDED:
2 6x6 in fabric squares (same or different fabric)
1 Marble
Twine
1 Rubber band
Scissors
Measuring tape
Glue gun

HOW TO:
1.}} Cut a 6x6 in. square out of your FIRST fabric.



2.}} Fold in half making corners meet {creating a triangle}.

3.}} Fold again.

4.}} AND again. {Turn the fabric making the folded part at the
bottom and the open folds at the top.}

5.}} Cut in the shape of an ice cream cone. {Notice in the above picture a
faint white line. Cut along this shape.} Lay out fabric.


6.}} Repeat steps with your second fabric.

7.}} Lay your second fabric on top of the first.

8.}} Place your marble in the center.

9.}} Holding the marble in place, tie the rubber band around the marble.



11.}} Hot glue your twine around the marble. 

Aaaand Ta-dah! You're finished! I fell in love with it and decided to
glue it on a headband for my little girl. Check.it.out!

Knotted Jersey Headband

It’s Wednesdayyyy! Half way to the weekend guys…hang in there.

This week is creeeeeping along for me. I can’t even wait for this weekend and all the festivities! Parties, graduations and Mother’s Day! My first Mother’s Day I can’t wait to shower my mother and mother-in-law with gifts {who doesn’t like gifts?}.

In the process of scouting out some DIY projects I stumbled upon this adorable DIY headband just using t-shirts at lovestitched.com. I’m a sucker for headbands {especially on a bad hair day} and so I had to give it a go.

Here’s the process…

1}} Get a t-shirt you don’t wear anymore! Lay it out flat and cut TWO 3 inch strips from the bottom going across.

2}} Pull each strip stretching to where it gives a little.

3}} Take the first strip and cross it over like so {keeping the loop at the TOP and the right side overlapping the left}.

4}} Lay your second strip over top of the first in a “U” manner.

5}} Put the right side of the SECOND piece UNDER the right side of the FIRST piece. {You with me on that? I’ll wait…}

6}} Okay…the LEFT side of the second piece goes UNDER the loop of the first. {You’re doing great!}

7}} {a little tricky here…} The RIGHT side of the SECOND piece goes OVER the loop of the first, passing UNDER the left side of the second and then over the other side of the loop. {Make sense?}
