{Tutorial} Bejeweled Flower Hair Accessories

Who doesn't love girly hair accessories.  I used to buy them just for my girls but now I love wearing them too.  I thought it would be fun to see if I could try and make some myself.  So, the search began for an easy tutorial and I came across an amazing blog full of great diy projects called go make me.  Cate's Bejeweled Flowered Headband tutorial immediately caught my eye and I knew that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. 

It only takes a few scraps of fabric, glitzy buttons, glue, needle, thread and you've got the current look for a fraction of the price.  The possibilities are endless!

Here's how

1} Gather some fabric scraps, preferably ones that don't fray (although I like it fraying too), felt, buttons and a headband. Cut six 60 mm (2.5") circles from fabric and two 30 mm (1.25") circles from felt
2} Fold each circle in half, then fold sides in on itself

3, 4 & 5} Adhere to one felt circle with fabric glue or hot glue gun. Repeat with other cut circles, overlapping each 'petal' as you continue around filling the entire felt circle
4} With needle and thread, sew on button(s)
7} Glue another felt circle over stitches
8} Glue to headband

Before you know it, you'll be making these jewel encrusted fabric flowers in minutes!

Hula Girls Adorable Aloha Party Attire

When I originally posted on my blog that I was dreaming of putting together a luau  inspired birthday party for Annabelle and Madeleine, sweet Kristina at Modern Frills contacted me that she would love to create tank tops for the birthday girls.  I was elated to say the least.  I worked with Kristina last year when she designed the most adorable Hello Kitty tank tops for Annabelle and Madeleine's birthday party.  I absolutely fell in love with her creations and have been the biggest fan ever since.  

I emailed Kristina the color palette that I was planning to use for the party and she created the most fabulous rosette tanks tops.  The fabrics were so adorable and in the perfect colors for the party!  And with each top that Kristina makes, she adds the cutest signature heart on the back.

Kristina offers unique appliqued birthday shirts, personalized tees with a sweet and modern twist in her Etsy shop HERE.

Every little girl loves their hair accessories especially if you are the guests of honor at a luau party.   Kristina at Looking 4 Lilly created the most stunning hair accessories for the birthday girls.  When they arrived in the mail, they just made me smile from ear to ear.  The clippies were so beautiful and you would have thought that both Kristinas sat side by side creating the products for the girls because they matched perfectly. 

Kristina was ever so sweet to make a clippie for me so that I could join in on the fun.
