Sprucin' Up Last Year's Outfit - Pink & Yellow Headband

My mom brought over a bunch of headbands last night from The Dollar Tree for me to put flowers on for my nieces. This morning when the 3 year old was getting dressed I couldn't resist making a matching flower headband. My mom also gave me a bunch of material scraps, there just happened to be PERFECTLY matching material in those scraps :O). This material covered headband came in a set of 6 for 1 dollar, my scraps were free to me - making this headband a whopping 17 cents! This little outfit is from last summer (it's Carter's purchased at Costco for less than 10 bucks) and still fits, YAY! There is enough material though to make a new skirt, and I plan on it!!

Mens Shirt to Jewelry Cuff

I saw the most adorable Rolled Fabric Cuff over at Sugar Bee.  I felt like putting something together this afternoon, so I gave it a try.  Chuck (my husband) was cleaning out his closet yesterday so I snatched up one of the shirts he was getting rid of. 

You start with an empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll.  Cut a strip...

Here is the shirt I used...

Cut a strip of material to hot glue to the empty paper towel roll strip (that's a mouth full, I should just go with "cuff").  Cut strips of material to roll your rosettes out of, glue them to the cuff as you go...

My cuff was too loose so I glued a cream grosgrain ribbon to the back, leaving tails to be tied...

I used the lighter to seal the ends of the ribbon to keep them from fraying...

Here is the end result.  My girls enjoyed wearing it...I may have to make a matching skirt out of the rest of the shirt for them!...
