Fun with Headbands!!!!

Ok I have decided to show everyone how
I have made my headbands for less then
Three yes that's Three DOLLARS!!!!
Its too good not to share to
All you mommy's out there!!!
 
These are Avril's old tights that don't fit anymore...
 Stretch the tights and cut right by the crotch... 
 I found it was easier to sew if I cut the toe part were the seem is too!!
 Sew together.. Don't worry about how it looks!!!
It'll be covered!!
 Next select the fabric you want...
Here is where I spend next to nothing!!!
Seriously go through your old shirts!!!
No one will know the difference and its free!!!
I also like to buy the fabric pieces that are 96 cents
at Wal-Mart.. They last me a long time!!!
And who can beat 96 cents?!!
 Next decide how you want to do your flowers..
This part takes the most work
But its totally worth it, I swear!!!
I cut five circles.. This took about 15 minutes
 Fold them in half and sew them together..
Lay the next folded circle under in the middle
While you are stitching.
This took me a couple of try's to get it how I wanted..
 After you have sewn them all together pull tight!!!!!!
 You can add anything you want to the
Center.. I changed my mind to a smaller button...
So start saving those buttons!!!!
 Next I cut square and rectangle pieces of fabric..

 Cut a piece of Ribbon...
Bunched the fabric...
 And started adding them to the ribbon...
I like to sew everything because it less messy and
You risk burning your fingers!!!

 Randomly add colors you want...



 Until you are done!!!
I wasted a lot of ribbon oops!!:)
 Choose the ribbon you want to use on your headband..
Mine was too thick so I folded it in half

 Put a dab of hot glue in the center and add your ribbon...
 Wrap it around and glue again..
I like to glue the end down so it doesn't fray..
Go glue happy if you want!!!
 Before you glue decide where you want your cute new little flowers!!!


And you are done!!!!

I found all of these flowers on
Pinterest and fixed them how I wanted...
Its super easy!!
I know if I can do it anyone can!!!
Don't throw away your ripped and stained shirts!!!
Use them for cutie little headbands
and save save SAVE!!!!!

Arai had fun playing with his cousin
Case and Avril had a blast trying to
Find all the eggs and running around
With Bridger and Janelle's
New puppy...
Sunday morning before church
The kids looked at their
Easter baskets and
Had fun munching on candy..
 
 Arai found one egg and then was done and wanted to nap..

 Finding eggs!!! Underwear always hanging out:)

 She had a blast!!!
 Easter Baskets!!!

Doing their own thing!!!

Its Christmas time.... In March???

 
Ok so slacker mom over here didn't get pictures
Of Christmas like she should have...
I like to be in the action rather then
Behind the camera missing the
Live show...
But I did manage to get some
Snap shots!!!

 This Christmas Eve when we read the
Christmas story we had the kids act out
Certain parts...
Avril was the Angel..
Kind of fitting right?;)



 This Christmas Santa brought us
New bikes!! We got spoiled!!!



 Avril was so excited about her bike!!!
 Arai was sick and threw up right before
We went out to see
The tree on his cute Christmas jammies... Poor guy:(





All in all it was a great Christmas!!!
Andie was able to visit and we enjoyed her company!
Kids got spoiled(like usual)
And me and Cory had so much fun buying gifts for
Everyone..
We can't wait for next Christmas!!!
