Who knew...

 ...making hair bows could be so addicting.  I have my sister-in-law, Rachel, to thank for this :)  She told me she had gotten the idea one day while out shopping and she saw bows at the store and knew she could make them herself.  So while we were down at their house this past weekend we made some.  Here are the ones that I created:



It was a lot of fun and so easy to do.  Plus, there are so many different ways, colors, and patterns you can use to make a bow.  When we got home, I dug out the ribbon and buttons I already had.  Then I went to JoAnn Fabric (by the way Rachel, their Christmas ribbon is 60%off now) and WalMart to get some more to add to my collection.


This morning I spent a couple hours making some more bows.  These are what I came up with...


I can't wait for Bella to get to wear them.  She already had fun modeling some of them for me today.  I also saw some really cute ribbon at both places that I can't wait to go back and get.  Thankfully, not only do I have Bella to make them for but I already have 3 little nieces and 2 more on the way!!  Thanks Rachel for my newest hobby.

I'm sure I'll be addicted to that hobby soon enough! Who's the other niece?

A girl I used to work for makes and sells bows, but you could get ideas from her facebook site:
