I went to a boutique in a old barn yesterday. I go there often--they've had seasonal boutiques for 25 years. This time I noticed at almost each booth there were hair clippies made with fake flowers--so cute. I guess it's the latest craze here. Anyway, I looked at the price and I could buy 2 for $7.00 and higher--tsk, tsk!! So, I said to myself, "Self, you could make those." Oh, and another wonderful thought entered my brain--"those would go so excellently with the dress you made."(see earlier post). So, I hopped in the car and headed for the craft store-Ben Franklin. Lo and Behold, a whole row of flowers. I spent $3.00 and headed out the door. I got home, found clippies in a drawer, got out the hot glue gun and VOILA, 7 hair clippies for $3.00. That would have cost me $24.50---oh the joy!! "Oh ya, a-ha...."Here's what they look like............
I had to beg the little one to come in from the great outdoors for the photo----I know, I know, the fushia flower and the red shirt sorda clash, but you get the idea=)!!!!
View from the back....If you make them, make sure you cut off the bumpy thing so they will lie flat.
I think they say "SPRING"--YAY!!!
Be Nice to People,

I've seen those flowers on headbands for babies. They are so cute. Yes $7 are pricey and I would done the same thing and went straight to the store to make some! Not for my boys of course. :) They look great!
What a sense of satisfaction you get out of making something yourself.
You did a great job and they look fabulous.
VERY cute---- they are very cute...did you see the panty hose headbands?! i went to me and my house on main street in bountiful. cute stuff.
You've just given me a great idea for gifts for my granddaughters. I also love your post about your husbands haircut. Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments. Blogging is more fun than I imagined.
Have a great week.

Hello again! Just wanted to let you know that I tagged and awarded you on my blog! Come see!
Simple and cute! And so much more reasonable than those $6 silly versions in the mall.
