Bloomin' Barrettes

Lately with the warm days approaching, I've been inspired by all the new spring flowers popping up. I decided to look through my bin of fabrics and create some flowers. Initially I was going to glue pins on the back to wear with plain tank-tops, instead I glued some of my barrette clips on the back to wear in my hair. Headbands with flowers and feathers are really in right now, but I just don't like the feeling of headbands, they tend to hurt after a couple hours. These are so cute and I love wearing them. A nice addition to a boring outfit!

Viva la Paper!

Inspired by my mom's paper flowers she and her friend Bonnie made for my wedding, I wanted to give it a go. I found a great tutorial online to make paper roses, a different style than she made, but both are beautiful. I made three of them and turned the big one into a barrette for my hair, and the others I turned into magnets to decorate my fridge! I love making them and plan to make really large ones to put in shadow boxes and hang on the wall eventually.
