5 Minute Headband (217:365)

Yes, it really only took me 5 minutes to make this dazzling little beauty.

I got the tutorial from New Green Mama.

All you need is some old knit material and 5 inches of elastic.

I used a pair of Scott's old pajama pants 

that have some lovely HUGE holes in the behind.

They will NOT be missed.

Now they are being put to better use, making my gross hair look cuter!


How to make the headband:

Cut a 2 1/2" by 14" rectangle. 
Then slice the rectangle lengthwise 3 or 4 times, getting only 3 inches from the ends on both sides. These strips will curl when pulled tight.

Then you sew about a 5" piece of elastic, zig-zagging it on both ends. I kind of rolled up the knit material around the elastic to encase it better.

I will definitely be making more of these little darlings.

Ruffled Flower Corsage (54:365)

I made one of these tonight. I've been wanting to make one for a long time now, but was just feeling like I couldn't do it. Like I wasn't going to be able to make mine cute or something. Anyway, I did it, feeling anxiety the whole time, and yet it worked out just fine. 

Great actually. 

It was sooo easy and fast! 

(Once I had all the fabrics picked out that I wanted to use. Still having some fear/ anxiety cutting up old stuff I don't want because I feel like I'm going to regret it so bad later! Lame, I know...)

The colors I used were Navy, Light Pink, Light Blue, White, and Light Brown.

I'd like to make another with some better fall colors and these seem a little springy to me. Yet, I still love it.

I think it's really cute and can't wait to were it on a fall jacket!
