Guest Post: Hope and Hair Things

Hello friends!  It's Hope again.  I really like to make things and I wear pretty things in my hair a lot, so today I want to do something a little different and share a DIY with you.

 (That's me.)

Supplies:  needle and thread, scissors, felt, buttons, hair clips or headbands

1.  Cut out flower, leaf, and bow shapes.
2.  Sew the shapes together to make pretty flowers and things.
3.  Attach to a clip or sew on a headband (my mommy helped me with this).
4.  You have your own clips to wear in your hair!

This is me wearing the one I made.  I did a pretty good job if I say so myself.

Well that's my DIY.  I hope you have fun making this!  Be sure not to poke yourself with a needle.  Ouch!!!
See you in a couple of weeks!  Bye.  --Hope
