Fabric Yo-Yo Headbands Part 1

As you may have figured out from reading this blog, I love adding fabric yo yos to things. A while ago I decided to make some headbands with them. So, I made some fabric yo yos and then we tracked down some headbands with teeth in them. We found a bunch of satin, tulle, netting, ect. on sale after Halloween. So, we were able to get a bunch of small pieces of materials reasonable priced. :D Here's how the first three turned out. I love my new Christmas headband. It is so festive! I think all 3 turned out nice-The one with the purple and green tulle was a Christmas present for one of my cousins. :)

Felt Ornaments!!

Time sure flies! I can't believe Christmas is only a few days away. And as usual I have procrastinated and have several things to do before the 25th. I need to make and send my cards, finish making a present, finish my shopping, and probably a couple other things I can't recall right now. lol! As part of my gift giving I decided to make some felt ornaments and must admit I got a bit carried away.

I made owls, gingerbread people, vintage ornaments, trees, pieces of bacon, and one bacon reindeer. :) Here's a list of resources I used. Please note that some of the patterns were shrunk to a smaller size.

Magazine Bows

Since I have a bunch of magazines that I don't want sitting around I decided that maybe I could re-purpose them. Off to Google I went and did a search for craft projects using magazine pages. Settling on making some bows out of them for starters I went to work on some. As you can see I got a little carried away. Oh well, these will look great on top of presents. :) Here's a link to the tutorial so you can give it a try too-gift bows tutorial.

Yo-Yo Brooches and Headbands

I decided to take a short break from working on cat toys and choose to make some more yo-yo brooches. I am very pleased with how these turned out. Since I wanted to try and add some more variety to the selection of yo-yo pins I used some different cotton fabric and scraps.

Recently we(my fabulous business partner/mother and I) have been toying with the idea of making me some fun headbands out of yo-yos, beads, ect. We have come up with several ideas-They just need to be attempt to see what works. And seeing as a certain blogger loves to make yo-yos it was only natural that my first attempt at making adornments for headbands came in the form of sewing some. I have sewn three of these so far but I will probably sew a couple more at least. Plus we are going to try out some of our other ideas. I will keep you posted. : )
