I just love looking at all the pretty flower bows out there to decorate our little girls. The only problem is when I go to put them in my little ones hair, they last maybe a minute. I don’t know why this is, but I had to find a solution. I started putting bobby pins in big sis’s hair to hold it out of her face and I discovered she would keep them in for at least half a day. Why she hates clips and will tolerate bobby pins is beyond me, but I knew I had to find a way to pretty up the bobby pins.
I’m sure this is not a new breakthrough, but it’s a first for us in the hair accessory area. At first I started to hot glue silk flowers onto the ends of bobby pins.
Then I began to experiment with buttons.
And beads.
This was the best picture I could get of the flower in her head before it came adamantly off.
Here I used a mixture of embossed paper flowers and buttons. Cute huh?
Here is a close up of more buttons and beads.
For a quick storage solution, I pinned a piece of velvet ribbon on the bathroom wall with the decorated bobby pins on them.
Lastly, I wanted to post a little something I made for my big sis’s soon-to-be born baby. My sister has worked so hard for so long to become a Nurse Practitioner. She passed all of her tests, and now it is final. I’m so proud of her! She has been such and inspiration to me of living life to it’s fullest. And I can’t wait for the new addition to our family.
That is her on the left, with my brother and hubby(he’s cute when he is sweaty and tired).
Love ya Sis!
For those waiting to see my craft room reveal, it’s almost there! I just have to beg my husband to help me with some stuff tonight.

  1. I love bobby pins and I've used them and decorated them but I've never put them in my daughter's hair! Not sure if they would stay in. This gives me a ton of ideas!

  2. You say you need a boy…I need a girl to make these! I'm going to try those t-shirts with my apparel design class when we learn about screen printing…I'm excited!!

  3. You are so nice! You had me in tears. I realize it's not hard to put me into tears right now, but still…that was touching.

  4. That&#39;s funny! i was just trying to make my little Ella Hope some hairbows tonight! She too will wear a bobby pin so maybe I should give these a try. 🙂 The hot glue and metal clips are OUCHY! 🙁 Humm… must be a better way. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! Ther&#39;re too cute.<br />Jenn

  7. I love how you added the flowers to the bobby pins. I use bobby pins in my hair all of the time. I am wondering if a 40 something gal could get away with wearing flowers in her hair? I think I might give it a go! Thanks for the great idea
