Spring is in The Air! Feltie Bloom Hair Accessories!

So I have been wanting to create some cute hair accessories for a while now. I just didn't have the motivation to do it till this last weekend. For those of who don't know I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and this last weekend was general conference, what that means is the prophet and apostles of our church prepare speeches on various subjects and we gather together in our churches or watch it from our homes. It is a very uplifting, educational and meaningful time, this year we streamed it online from LDS.org and watched from our comfy couches. Well I am never one who can sit still and having practiced the night before with one of my besties (she taught me how to do this and gave me the ideas for a lot of these) I got out my felt and went to work! I think they came out so whimsical and cute! I definitely have found my new hobby. Stay tuned for a tutorial and maybe even a giveaway!

Finally I came across this article and I think it is pretty helpful. You don't know how many times I have taken my hair down and had a bazillion bobby pins all over... why not do something with them?

1. Remove the protective ball from the end of a bobby pin and use it as an emergency screwdriver for a tiny screw!

2. If you're always loosing the bookmark from your favorite book, slip a bobby pin over the page to save your spot.

3. This is also a grea tip for marking favorite recipe pages in a cookbook so you don't have to keep flipping through while you're making a big meal.

4. Are your bags of chips always going stale? Fold the opening over itself several times and then slip a bobby pin on the bag at each end.

5. Keep a few bobby pins in your handbag for an emergency hold on a fallen hem.

6. Or you can use them to hold fabric in place while you're sewing.

7. If your zipper pull breaks - slip a bobby pin in the hole and pull the zipper around!
