Yesterday I re-posted the baby shower gift I made where, I rolled up some cute outfits and secured them with an elastic headbad that was adjustable and interchangeable. Some of the girls at the shower asked me how I made them, so here is a tutorial!
(Click on the pictures to enlarge)
*I just found an awesome store in Tempe, AZ that sells a million different trims and literally had every color imaginable of elastic and stretchy lace! Before that, I bought 100 yards of white stretchy lace at Fabric Barn in Long Beach, CA… the only color they had!
STEP ONE:
Measure your little cuties head and cut a piece of elastic to fit around it.
Then…
Now you can attach any clip you have by slipping it through the loop!
Its a good way to make all those bows last longer and usable in all stages of bow-wearing!
About Stephanie
love these, and love them even more now that you've attached ribbon to use for interchangeable clips! You're lucky to have a store with lots of colors of stretchy lace, I so wanted different colors for Kate
I love the Fabric Barn!!! Is the store in Tempe, Ribbons and Lace?? From what I understand, it's a lot like Fabric Barn, but I thought it was in Mesa. There are sisters in our ward and their mom owns Ribbons and Lace but I haven't made it there yet. I'd love to know the name of the Tempe store though!
Thanks for all of your creative ideas. I can't tell you how many of them I've tried!
I love this idea!!! I amy dying to hav a little girl so I can put all of these cute girly ideas to good use!!! I am also interested in the name of the store you found in tempe?
Just have an hour or so to blog hop tonight….I enjoyed my visit to your blog…Hope you will visit my Christmas blog…http://grammyababychangeseverything.blogspot.com
A great giveaway is on for the entire month of OCT…and all it takes is a comment…
for those that asked, the fabric store is called SAS fabrics. I have been to Ribbons and Lace in Mesa, and was very disappointed after being spoiled with Fabric Barn in Long Beach. The prices at Fabric Barn were as low as low can be! My last trip there (June '09) was very disappointing however! They changed their store to be all ribbon sold only by the spool! This is still cheap if you make bulk bows in one color or you need them for decorations or announcements or something, but I didnt need 50 yards of any particular color- I wanted 50 yards or 50 colors, know what I mean! Maybe Ribbons and Lace will become my new favorite. Its definitely closer!
Oh, but yes, check out SAS fabrics if you are local- just north of the 60 and west of the 101. I love it!
I just stumbled upon your website and saw that you shop at SAS too! Last Friday a friend and I went to the SAS in Phoenix and it’s great too!! I got ruffle trim to make flowers out of and also some stretch lace and stretch trim and FOE for headbands! I didn’t pay more than 49cents a yard for anything!! Some were only 10cents a yard, 25cents, and 49cents was most expensive! Even got some remnants for 25cents a piece to make fabric flowers with. SO CHEAP!! Yet, addicting! Plan on getting a sitter for at least a couple hours so you can browse in peace.
