Ribbon Flowers

I'm not a very "crafty" person. I can follow directions but coming up with something on my own is really tough. So I'm not sure where this came from. All of a sudden last week I decided that I wanted to try my had at ribbon flowers. 

It probably had something to do with the fact that the weather is cooling down so I have started wearing my hair down again and wanted to get a hair band. The problem is that hair bands are very expensive, ranging between 6 an 13 dollars. Granted there are some cheaper than that but not many. I guess I just decided to make one.

So I went to the stationary/craft store downtown and bought all of the makings for quite a few headbands and clips. More than I will wear probably.
When I saw the lace for this flower in the store, I knew that it had to be turned into this flower. I am very happy with the results!
This is a hair clip bow that I made
This head band it my favorite. I made it to go with an outfit that I wore for giving a talk in church.
This is probably my next favorite. :D
 
I feel like they turned out pretty well!



My Way of Apologizing





So I haven't posted in a while. Obviously. So to make up for it, here are some pictures of Hyrum. Hopefully they will soften the blow.
