Salmon and White Bows

(This was one of my favorite bows I made over the summer, unfortunately I no longer have it as it disappeared while my girls and I were having lunch at CPK, we looked everywhere for it and the waiter even checked to see if it feel into the storage pocket under the bench, no luck, so I guess someone else is now enjoying this bow and hopefully soon I will make a new one. Just happy I got a picture of it before it disappeared)

Brilliant White Bow

Dish Soap Dispenser

I got this idea from my Mom's house, a neighbor had given this to her. I liked it and so I had a glass bottle with a nice shape and set out to gather the rest of the supplies for it. This was super easy to make and looks great next to the sink.

Supplies:

-Glass Bottle (mine was a Zango bottle that I stripped the stickers off of)

- Spout (I found mine at a store called Spoons & Spice for about $3.00)

- Artificial Leaf Vine (I purchased mine from the Dollar Store and only used half the vine)

- Liquid Dish Soap

Step 1: Strip any stickers off your bottle if you are reusing a bottle

Step 2: Put your vine into the bottle and cut it once you have as much inside as you like

Step 3: Pour in some Dish Soap
Step 4: Put on the spout

Pink & White Flowers

These flowers were fun and inexpensive to make. I had bought a bunch of Gerbera like flowers from the Dollar store and planned on just adding a jewel to the center. But as I was sitting at the table with my flowers I also had some small Daisy flowers that were in a bunch of wild flowers I had purchased on sale at Joanns, so I just experimented to see what they would look like together and I liked the look.

How to:

Supplies:

-large gerbera like flowers (the ones from the dollar store only had 2 layers)

- smaller Daisy like flower (these also were only 2 layers)

- circle gem or button

- hot glue gun

- 3/8 in. Grosgrain ribbon

- alligator clip

1. Take the flowers completely apart.

2. Stack and Glue all the flower petals together.

3. Glue the gem in place

4. Line an Alligator clip with about 4" of Ribbon

5. Glue the flower to the lined alligator clip

I estimated my total cost to make one of these flower bows was around $1.00.

Pink & White DragonFly Bow

Pink is a very popular color at our house and so we wear out pink bows on a regular basis. This bow is mostly pink with a small amount of white for accents.

Yellow & Green Bows

A friend of mine asked if we could make her daughter green and yellow boys and I was excited for this as I love the colors green and yellow together. I had so much fun making them for my friend that I made a set for my girls.

Pink, Yellow and Green Bows

This year I purchased Easter Dresses for my girls that were yellow with a sheer yellow overlay with a pink sash and flowers and green flower vines. Therefore, I created these bows to go with their dresses. Smaller ones for my younger daughter and larger ones for my older daughter. I wanted to make the larger ones so they could either be worn alone or with one of their double ruffle headbands.

Easter Bows

Spring Bow

I am having spring Fever and made up this bow for my sister.

My Next Fun Project

I came across this great organza flowers tutorial at Pom Pom Emporium blog. I have some left over organza from making skirts for my girls, that I can now put to use making fun Organza Flower bows for their hair.

Valentine Bows

Bows for a Baby Shower

I was recently invited to a Baby Shower for a friend who was expecting a girl, so I whipped up these bows to be clipped to crocheted headbands (I bought the crocheted headbands).

January Snow Bow

Headbands

My Daughter is starting to want to wear Headbands, so I saw some Headbands similar to these at the Lace Place, however I wanted some that I could clip bows onto, so I made these. I can still use the existing bows I have and my daughter can wear her Headbands.

Red & White Flower

I got the idea for this bow at the Lace Place:
