Over the last week or so I have been whipping up some fun new hair accessories for my sassy little diva!! I started making her bows about a year and a half or so ago but haven’t made any in a long time. Life has a funny way of keeping us busy…

Anyway, before Christmas I made both Gentry and my niece some fun hair pretties and promised my sis that I would make some more for my niece. I am doing that, but I am also making some new ones for Gentry girl at the same time!

Here is the first one! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I tweeted about it last week, but just yesterday managed to get a decent picture to share! The colors in this scream summer! For some reason Gentry screamed “Oww….it hurts me” when I put it on her, but I am still working with her! I am teaching her young that it is painful to be beautiful!! That would be why I crammed her feet into shoes that were half a size too small awhile back for some photos! Don’t worry…she only wore them for five minutes and we were done! She was fine and all was well!

Anyway, this is just a korker bow that I jazzed up with a glam button from Wal Mart and hot glued to a headband! The fabulously fun thing about this one is that I bought the ribbon at Target in the dollar bins…18 inches of 6 different coordinating colors all for just $1! It took two tubes of ribbon to get this as big and full as it is, but it is so nice to have the fun color combo already picked out and ready to go! {I just realized that I did add a couple of my own colors…thought I should clarify that in case anyone goes out looking for it and wonders where the hot pink and purple polka dots came from!!}

I love it so much that I had to hit Target up the next day and buy more of this fun stuff…my sweet niece has to have one of these too!

Ahhh…Target. I have a love/hate relationship with that store. Well, not really. I love it…Chris hates how easy it if for me to spend money in there! I know I am not the only one in this boat!!

Anyway, if you have a little girl or need to buy a gift for a little girl any time soon, get yourself in there and get to shopping! They have some of the cutest dresses ever right now! Gentry’s is already hanging in her closet so no pics of the dress itself, but I had to buy some ribbon to make matching hair accessories for her!

These are fun little korker bows too…I just lined some alligator clips and hot glued ‘em on! Simple, adorable, and totally coordinate with her dress! Love that! And these are satin too! I can’t wait to get her all dolled up and in front of my camera!

I need to keep myself moving and get more sets of these made! Somehow I was supposed to be creating these for my niece but have yet to actually “make” any for her! The ribbons have been baked but I haven’t put them together yet!

So….you want to learn to make fun korker bows for those special girlies in your life? It’s easy…go here. There are directions to creating several different types of bows!  I have some instructions that I bought online so I make mine slightly different, but this will get you going!! I am no expert but let me know if you have any questions!! And I would love to see any fun combos or creations that you make so be sure to share! Happy crafting!
