HEADBANDS HEADBANDS AND MORE HEADBANDS

HEADBANDS 

GLORIOUS BEAUTIFUL HEADBANDS!

That is exactly what I've been doing today! I made 5 different headbands. I bought 7 packs of headbands at the dollar store and I wrapped them all in ribbon. Then I added a different embellishment to each one.  Here they are:

This one I wrapped in a cream colored ribbon. Then I made an oversized bow out of the same ribbon and covered it in a black lace.

Check out the new camera I snuck into this pic!!!!

This headband is covered in a teal ribbon with fabric rosettes.

This one is also a teal ribbon, with a big pink daisy from a dollar store bouquet.

Here is one with another dollar store flower. This one is on a cream colored ribbon. (Sorry for the last pic- i had to crop myself out and the zoom looks bad)

Finally, I made one of those pom poms out of fabric and put it on a black ribbon.

Which one is your favorite?!

Washer Jewelry

I saw a blog that had some washer jewelry. I'm a big fan of making things out of odd materials so I knew I had to try it. I also added a fabric flower on mine to add my own touch. All I did to make the flower was cut a strip of the teal fabric and sew in and out down one side. Pull it tight and it curls and makes a flower shape. Sewed it close and hot glued the buttons on.

This picture was taken before i decided to add the flower. Not so sure I like how it looks on.

After I added the flower. The final piece.

Flower up close.

After that necklace I had one washer remaining. So I took some paper left from here and E-6000'd it onto the washer. After it dried I coated it with diamond glaze and let dry again. Then, I strung it and added a red bow for a feminine touch. I like this one.

I'm obsessed with this damask pattern!

Fun with Fondant

So, aside from crafts I fiddle in fondant. By that, I mean I've used it twice and think it's nifty! ha. Anyways,    heres pics.

I made this with store bought white fondant. I colored it with food coloring and this was the finished product. For my first time, I don't think it's so bad! The fondant tasted awful though! I literally pulled it off every piece. Why spend so much money for something so UCK! So, then I did some research and read that the homemade marshmallow fondant is like a million times better. Naturally, I HAD to try. So i whipped up a batch and decorated some cupcakes for my class for Halloween.

It tasted MUCH better! They turned out mediocre looking. I guess I need more practice!
