"Wear It On Your Head Wednesday"
Hello there. The past few weeks I’ve been in a vintage phase. You’re probably thinking that I’m always in a vintage phase, and you’d be right, but lately it’s been more intense than usual. For one thing, I’ve been watching The Wonder Years series on Netflix. I loved that show when it was out and [...]
Did you see the pillows I shared yesterday? They were made from an old t-shirt and an old sweater. Well, there were some pieces left from that project, so I made headbands from scraps. I just cut out a strip of the t-shirt and sewed it into a loop. It took about 90 seconds. [...]
Here’s a fun last minute Halloween hair clip idea. To make this I used a bobby pin, felt and embroidery thread.
First, I went all Edward Scissorhands and cut out this bat shape out of a piece of black felt that I had folded in half. {So there were two [...]
Since we are in high school homecoming season, I thought I’d share a few homecoming hair ideas. What is customary in your area? Do girls have their hair done by a pro or do it themselves? It goes both ways here, depending on the girl and her current style. When my daughter was in high [...]
Earlier this year I posted a super easy tutorial for making a felt hair bow for a messy bun. You can find it here. One of the great things about this bow is that it can be adapted to show support for your team, so [...]
Today’s project is another great way to use old t-shirts. Since we have lots of old shirts and we wear lots of headbands, this project has been done many times around here in many different ways. Here’s the latest version. With Labor Day approaching I thought we could use a red, white and [...]
It’s time for Wear It On Your Head Wednesday! For today’s accessory I started with this metal button that had a loop on the back of it. I thought I’d use wire cutters to snip it off, but when I started to squeeze on the cutters, the loop moved and I was able to just [...]
Here’s a fun way to decorate a ponytail holder. Start with some buttons, felt and a ponytail holder. Arrange the buttons the way you’d like.
Next cut out a couple pieces of felt. I made circles since I was trying to create flowers. Sew the buttons to the first layer of felt, then [...]
Somehow, being married to a graphic designer has turned me into little bit of a type geek. I found this vintage printing block while thrifting and decided to make a bobby pin with the ampersand image. I used a scrabble tile, printed the image by stamping the block into my stamp pad, then [...]
Hi. It’s Maddie again. Today I wanted to share my hair donation story. You might have noticed that I’ve been the model for lots of hair experiments here on the blog. I’ve always had long hair, so wearing it lots of different ways seemed normal to me.
