Happy (late) Memorial Day!
Hello!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and if you're in the U.S., I hope you had a great Memorial Day! I do hope we all took time to remember what the holiday is intended for. Whether or not you agree with the idea of going to war, I'm sure that we can all agree that those who lost their lives fighting for their beliefs deserve honor!
We were invited to dinner four times this weekend! I gained five pounds (seriously!), but it was worth it for the company. :O) It was also a pretty sad weekend in our household, but sad things aren't fun to talk about, so we'll move on to crafts!
You'd think that after (unintentionally) taking almost a week off from blogging, I'd have millions of projects to boast of, but in reality the only thing I made were these "peony" hair clips:
And I'm not sure if they even count, because I don't have the actual clips to put them on. Haha. :o) Anyone know where to get those?
I didn't quite have the chance to photograph the steps last night, but I'd be happy to throw together a quick tutorial if anyone needs it. Just let me know!
So, anyway, hello again! I missed you all. And I hope I didn't scare anyone by being away so long! I didn't plan to be. :o)
What cute clips! Whenever I make hair accesorizes I use tape to attach the flower to the clip--don't tell anyone. And {hugs) about whatever the sad thing was,

Would LOVE a tutorial! My twin nieces need these!!
ReplyDeleteDepends what kind of clips and how much you want to pay!!! I can usually find some clips in the jewelry section at my Joann's, but I also get alligator clips at Sally Beauty Supply. Good luck.... Cute flowers!
ReplyDeleteI missed you! Glad you're back, felt like a friend was gone. :)
ReplyDeleteCute clips! Sorry to hear that it was a sad weekend. Hope your day is brighter!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had sadness this weekend. I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI would love a tutorial for these clips, if you have time. I have four little girls at this house that would be so cute in them!
Thanks for your time and effort. I love your blog!
I love these... They are adorable with the tulle and pearls and i would love a tutorial. I love your site. Hope all gets better...
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I got my alligator clips really cheap on ebay.
ReplyDeleteSUPER cute! I'd love a tutorial. When I purchase clips I get them on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/trimweaver?section_id=5148588
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the cute projects!
I would also love a tut! They are soooo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I missed you! I would love a tutorial, and I'd also love to know where to get the clips! If you find out, would you pass the word along?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry it was a sad weekend. :(
ReplyDeleteThose are precious, though! Tutorial, please?
I haven't commented ever before, but I LOVE your blog! My husband and I are missionaries at language school in Costa Rica and I must confess that I live my crafting/sewing life vicariously through you! I have NO sewing machine or readily available material (no old clothes hanging around here!) or elastic (my recent sad discovery as I have a TON of old tights that are obviously too hot to wear here and I'm dying to make the knee high socks.). So, thanks so much for allowing me to at least see the steps and experience the joy of a thing of beauty created! As for the clips (I used to sell hairbows in the States) the best deal is by far at Sally's Beauty...it's a box of like 500 alligator clips for I think around 5 or 6 dollars. You would have as many clips as you needed for the myriad of things you could ever hope for...or you could talk to a friend about splitting them...250 is still alot of hairbows. :P Good luck....I think I would also put a safety pin on it and make a broach for all those cute shirt dresses and scarfs we know you have lying around! MANY blessings and keep on creating! :P
ReplyDeleteI like to use alligator clips, which I get at the ribbon retreat (ribbonretreat.com). They sell ribbon AND fabric...great fabric at great prices. Anyway, hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteSorry about whatever sad happened over the weekend. :( I LOVE the hair clips and Paige is cuter than ever! Hope everything gets better real soon and those stinky 5 lbs go back to their respective owners...
ReplyDeleteOh, you can get clips in the jewelry section at Joann's, michaels, walmart even! Good luck and they are adorable!
What adorable peonies! I'd love to know how you get them all ruffly.
ReplyDeleteI would love a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI get my clips at Sally's - they seem to hold the best!
ReplyDeletetutorial please!
ReplyDeletea Tutorial would nice! Love your site
ReplyDeleteCute flowers! I'd love a tutorial if you're up for it. And I buy my clips at sally's beauty supply.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your sad weekend{hugs}
ReplyDeleteI get my clips from Sally Beauty Supply. They sell a pack of 100 for about $5.50.
Thank you for sharing those because they are oh so adorable. I would love a tutorial if you're up to it :)
ReplyDeleteLove those adorable peony clips! I would like to have the tutorial also. :)
ReplyDeleteyup. I get my clips at Sally's, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your sad weekend. It's not fun to talk about it, but I know whatever it was... you're thinking about it. My heart goes out to you for whatever it was.
Love your blog!
i have an etsy shop where i sell hair accessories, and i just bought a box of 100 alligator clips at Sally for 5 or 6 bucks.
ReplyDeletekaceface.etsy.com
I always make hair clips for fun!
ReplyDeletemy hair is super thick and I use the barette kinds... not the ones that flip back and forth, but they're like little rectangles that clip shut. those might be good for staying in little girl hair, too! I get mine at hobby lobby :)

Adorable clips! Sorry for your sad weekend.

Disney, our weekend was a little sad too. Sending good thoughts your way. The hair clips are adorable! I bet there is a way to hook a hair band to it so you could wear it on ponytails! My granddaughter is one and just getting enough hair to put in little piggy tails. I could just see her wearing those pretty clips in her hair! Yes, a tutorial, please!
ReplyDeleteKaren
So cute! I make ribbon bows and this would so much cuter! Tutorial please :) I buy my clips at a beauty supply store.
ReplyDeleteI just recently got 100 clips for 8 bucks -that's WITH shipping- off of eBay! I won't advertise the seller's name here, but if you want it, I'm more than happy to share with you! They have them in different sizes and they also sell them in smaller quantities. I got them for quilting though, but I might make some hair clips with them too.
ReplyDeleteDitto--a tutorial would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI've been swimming in sadness as of late and just remember its ok to be sad sometimes.
Of course we need a tutorial:)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.trimweaver.com/ check it out!
Oh yes, tutorial please!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear things aren't very happy at home right now. Maybe this will cheer you up a bit (if not at least take things off your mind for an itty bitty while)...You are it! Yes, I tagged you. Now you need to pass by my little ole blog to see what you need to do.

I hope brighter days are on your way. =)
I'm with everyone else who said Sally's, that's where I get my hairclips. And my nail polish! :D As a prego right now it's not like I can make a commitment to pretty clothes or even necessarily shoes (who knows if my feet will swell, the horror)so instead I indulge in pretty nailpolishes! I was there just two days ago and got an adorable bubblegum pink, a pretty French Manicure pink, and a sassy coral red. Happy little things, and all on clearance! :) You should buy your clips at Sally's and indulge in some happy little things. <3 *hugs* over the sads.
ReplyDeletePretty please a tutorial? I would love it!
ReplyDeleteSorry (hugs) about the sad part, missed you while you were gone, glad you're back! Oh and yes, would love to see the tutorial ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you're back, and wish you and your family the very best.

ReplyDeletewould love a little tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I just found your blog a few weeks ago and I LOVE it!! I get my clips from craftersvision.com, but I just checked out ribbonretreat.com and it's a great site!! Thanks for the tip. Thanks for inspiring my creativity!! Sorry for your "sad" weekend-pray things are better now,, although it's those darn trials that make us more like Christ!!
ReplyDeleteAwe...LOVE them! I just acquired a bunch of tulle from a garage sale!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered a bunch of these from here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220537433171&ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123
100 for like five bucks. :)
PS...one: your daughter is so gorgeous. two: put the tutorial up. Please!
I get my alligator clips at Sally's Beauty Supply store. You can get a box of 100 clips for $5. It is such a great deal. And hope some sunshine comes your way to make the sadness go away. I love your blog and all your craftiness you are very inspiring :>
ReplyDeletei'm hoping for a tutorial. so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is feeling brighter today! I would love a tutorial please! My little girl is turning one is 4 weeks and I think these would be perfect party favours!
Thanks again
I would love a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteJust saying hi and wishing you better. Crafts can help, I hope - at least distract you a little. Just know you have so many well-wishers; we all hang on your every word, stitch and dot of glue. Thanks for being so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHi Disney! I like trimweaver.com for my hair clips (they even have pretty fabric and other fun notions!) I have a little local business called MAddiE Lu'S Hair-do's...and these are the best clips I've found. I love the peony clips and your blog! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do a tutorial! These clippies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would love a tutorial!! I want to make some for my girls. I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute. I make way too many hair clips for my daughter... so I should probably make these too! :) I get my clips at Sally's Beauty supply. Pretty inexpensive there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your sad weekend. Hope everything is OK.
my girls would love these. and i love peonies! glad you took a little break, hope it was restful!
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome!! I'm going to my Mom's house and stealing some of her scraps to make these :)
ReplyDeleteWe actually bought her nylon chiffon from the exact same etsy store :) It's hard to get nylon chiffon in australia and the lady from that store is soo wonderful :) And that is also a very clever idea to put the snap on the clip. :D
