Today I am sharing a hair bow holder that I created for my girls along with a few handmade bows. My friend Kristi makes adorable bows (you can find her website here: http://bcouturebows.blogspot.com/ And she told me they are so easy to make that I should make some for my girls....well....she was right! These are only my first few attempts but I think they turned out pretty cute!
I picked up a wooden plaque from Hobby Lobby and just altered it a bit with some alcohol ink. I had some off white lace that I wanted to use and wanted it to blend in so I used some alcohol ink on it and it magically turned into the perfect color that I needed (I love alcohol ink!) I then clipped out a section of an old dictionary that I picked up from a rummage sale. The selection are the words "beautiful", "beauty", "beautify". I then inked up my Peachy Keen Laughy Taffy faces and stamped some faces in the background. Then, with a few embellishments and some ribbons to hold the bows; my holder was complete.
Now to make the bows.....pretty simple! I found this website while searching for some good tips. She has some great tutorials! Make Hair Bows and More
Just a little ribbon, some fun brads, some thread and some hot glue, and some alligator clips...and voila....cute hair bows.
For this cute bow I cut a paper doll and some clothes using some clear acrylic sheets and the Paper Doll Dress up cricut cartridge. I painted with some acrylic paints and added a cute face stamp from Peachy Keen Stamp set Everyday Character faces. The hair is just some doll hair I picked up earlier this summer with this project in mind.
I hope you enjoy my project for today! Please come back tomorrow for my last day as PKS guest designer. I am so excited about tomorrows project! (Hint: fire up your Gypsy if you have one ;) )
