Some of the hair accessories I made. I went a little DIY crazy...hee hee hee!

 Hey Y'all!

WARNING: This post is PICTURE HEAVY! I was in a store this weekend about to spend $8-$10 a piece on a few headbands and clips, but I stopped myself. It's like a little DIY angel appeared on my shoulder and reminded me that I could go get some materials and create my own hair accessories and make exactly what I wanted in the color schemes that I wanted. So, I headed to my neighborhood Michael's and Hobby Lobby (after going to their websites and getting a coupon for 40% off one regular price item) to pick up some ribbon, a new sewing kit, and a few other things. I also went to Wal-Mart and purchased a new hot glue gun because I got tired of sewing. In all, I probably spent about $25, but I would have spent that and only got 3 or 4 headbands at one of my favorite stores.

Well, the DIY bug bit me hard and I made so many things! Making your own accessories really isn't hard. There are so many tutorials online. Just Goggle "make my own headband" or "make headband out of ribbon" or "no sew hair bow instructions"; you'd be surprised at how easy it is to do. You don't have to follow their guidelines strictly; use your imagination and determine what works best for you. Now, it will take some time when you're starting out, but once you get the hang of it, it's piece of cake!
