A New Bloom on a Washer Necklace

I first saw washer necklaces on this blog. So I decided to put a little twist on them...first I made my washer necklace with about 35-40 washers and navy blue gross grain ribbon.

Then I went to work making some fabric flowers and yoyos.

Then I hot glued the flowers to the gross grain ribbon and attached some felt to the back with hot glue to keep them in place. I also added some buttons to the centers of the flowers.

Here is the finished project. I think this will look cute with a white tshirt.

Another Hair Accessory

I made another headband today. I was hoping to get a few done, but I've had a headache almost all weekend, it's raining outside and I'm just feeling a little lazy. I decided to try a green headband for spring. This time, instead of doing the accordion flowers, I tried the yoyo style fabric flowers. Directions for making yoyo's can be found here. Again, I wrapped my headband in gross grain and then attached three yoyo flowers. I put buttons in the middle of the yoyo's to add some more character. I just love cute hair accessory.
