fairy crown instructions

This is my first Attempt at posting instructions. I am going to be posting instructions on a couple of crafts for my little girls coming birthday party. I am doing a Tinkerbelle/fairy theme.

List of supplies

• Metal headbands
• Curling ribbon

• various silk flowers and leaves

• hot glue gun

• scissors

1. Wrap your head band with the curling ribbon secure ends with hot glue (I did not get pictures of this step sorry)

2. Cover the wrapped band with a layer of leaves.

3. Take a cluster of leaves I was lucky they wear already connected but you can glue them with hot glue.

4. Glue a flower in the center.

5. Glue bunched leaves and flower off to the side on the headband.

6. Start gluing flowers all up and down the sides.

All done. If you want you can add curling ribbon to the ends I plan to do this as soon as I get some pink. The store was out.

I made one for all the girls I plan to invite plus a few extras just in case. I am also making a special one just for Effy with more flowers. I will post pics as soon as it is finished.

Effys Holiday Tutu dress

I have been so busy with every thing I am behind on my blog. I made Effy a holiday Tutu dress for her first pics and party's. I also made the matching head band. I love the way it all came out. For her next tutu I will use wider pices of tule.

broken arm

I broke my arm. Well actually I broke my clavicle or collar bone. This means that I can not craft. I am going crazy. This sucks I cant take any thing because I am breast feeding witch is hard with a broken collar bone.

Felt food and a tutu

I started on my daughters felt food, so far I have made 4 strawberry's and a chocolate chip cookie. This is such a fun idea.

I also decided to make a no sew tutu. The ribbon is a Disney fairies print just like her room. I went to the Dollar tree and got a pair of $1.00 wings. I tried them on her and she looks so cute. it isn't like she will remember by Solstice. Her shoes are way to big for her little feet. Effy loves the Tutu she is giggling like crazy and chewing on it.

I have a lot more felt food to make. I will keep updating.

Homemade solstice gifts

Money is tight this year so I thought I would make some of my kids gifts. I relay like the Idea of felt food. I am going to make some fruits and veggies for my little girl. I am going to do some felt Harry Potter candy for my boys. I also might make them some owls for the owl post they use for the Hogwarts classes http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HogwartsSCS/.

I love schooling my kids at home http://www.k12.com/cova/. They appreciate the little things and aren't so obsessed about status. Their is no one telling them they need to have this or that. I believe that they retain some of their innocence.

I am starting a new project. My husband found a doll house on the side of the rode. I plan to fix it up
