First of all, I have to give credit where credit is due. This amazing lady inspired me to try my hand at a different type of flower than usual, and I sort of switched it up a little to make it my own. Enjoy!
Now, I know I say this pretty much every time, but I LOVE THESE FLOWERS. I would jump into a big pile of them, roll around, toss them joyfully into the air and have them flutter down all around me, I adore them so much. (I’m weird, but that’s why you love me. Believe that.)
Supplies:
- Felt
- Glue (I used a hot glue gun because I apparently like the excruciating 5 second pain it causes my fingertips, but try whatever you have on hand)
- Center: A cute button, vintage earring, cluster of beads… other ideas?
- Backing: Alligator clip, pin back, headband, etc.
- This is another versatile craft and you can pretty much glue it to anything. Use it as a gift topper, maybe? OMG CUTE.
- Also, notice how I didn’t say ‘needle and thread’?? These little babies are no-sew!
xo!

Here’s a more clear photo of the headband I made for the little miss. It’s a bit frayed on the edges and a little lopsided, but I think I like it like that.
And last night I decided to make a headband for myself… because it’s just not fair that Madeline gets all the cute accessories when she doesn’t even have hair yet. :)

After analyzing this video to death, I’ve realized:
- I should never, ever chew gum again.
- Must work on not acting like a total snob because I just realized I act like a total snob. Gag.
- I do like the Bump It, even if I do somewhat resemble a pageant contestant. Va-va voom.
So, yes. Bump It. If you watch the video on their site, you’ll agree it’s probably the cheesiest thing you’ve ever seen… but are you not somewhat intrigued?
It’s basically just a plastic insert that you put in your hair to give it some volume. At first, I wasn’t sure if I was okay with my head being so freakishly tall, but I toned it down a bit and it ended up being alright I think. Feedback is welcome. :)
And that headband with the big flower I had on the girl was made out of this old shirt:
I was glad — giddy, even — to see that big pink circus tent go. Yay for getting rid of maternity clothes! Let’s just pray I don’t need them again for a while.
No seriously… pray. I think I would die.
