Alligator Clips

We've finally made it!! We have reached the 50th venture- wha-who! So don't forget to join the fun and enter the giveaway! And as promised I will show off what I have made so far with my loaded stash of the lovely clips.

 Remember this one? Well here is my little girl wearing it with her little pony tail

 Isn't she a cutie? See, she loves the little clips and she is so glad I got them :)

The above little clip used to be this head band, but it doesn't fit her growing head anymore, so I made it a clip, it was by far the easiest of them all to make

 Here is another head band that doesn't fit her very well anymore so I just glued it on the clip and then cut the edges, like below. . .

 Super easy and quick, took me like 10 seconds- literally! The longest wait is for the glue gun to get hot

 Here is the back

 I could put it in my little girl's hair, in my own hair, or it can be a fun addition to add some color to a long necklace or something

 Then I made this tulle flower, I just wrapped the tulle around and around until I got this  flower rose shape. Then I got a thin wire to hold it in place on the back, then I glued it all together onto a clip

 If you aren't the kind of person that has tons of random ribbon lying around that you could put on the clip you could just cut a thin strip of scrap material like I did here, or don't have to put anything on the back of the clip, but I personally think it looks a little nicer

 This one could also be fun on a necklace

 What do you think?

 I love wearing hats (and it has been especially fun now that I am home all the time, back in my being on campus all day days I couldn't wear hats, but now I get to all the time- Yeah!!), so it could also add a little extra fun color to a hat

Here I made a flower to match a dress I made my little girl (I will show off the dress soon too), but for this flower all I did was cut out the flower shapes starting small and getting bigger and then glued the layers together and then added a pearl on top from a string of pearls I had that broke

 And then I attached it to one of my girls headbands

 Again, I didn't have ribbon, so I cut some extra material of the plaid and glued it on the back

 Some simple bows

 A bottle cap flower- I saw a girl with something like this at the Lagoon, and I thought it was a fun cleaver idea. I might paint over the "IBC Cream Soda" on it though, we'll see.. .

 Then I made a bigger bow that can have many uses, here it can go on a head band

 Like so. . . . what do you think?

 Or it could serve as a bow tie- I would have made my husband worn this as an example, but he was at work, but what do you think?

 Then here is just a regular white flower, that could also go good on a necklace

 Or even just pin it on a shirt to add a little fun and formal to a regular shirt

 Or even add it to the hat too to give it some happy life

 Pretty much any flower or bow could go nicely with a necklace or on a shirt to add some fun to your outfits

 Purple stands for Pancreatic Cancer, the one my Mother passed away from. My Momma also love pansy flowers, so I thought I would put this together, that I can wear at various times in honor of her

 It can go on a shirt or in my hair or on a necklace, just depends on what outfit I will wear with it

 Then I made a little man's neck tie, this little thing could fit a little baby or a little tike, I would have given an example what it could look like on my little girl, but she was napping at the time

 I didn't do any sewing for this, just lots and lots of hot gluing, and now its an adorable little man clip on tie, now I just need to find a little man to give it to :)

 And last but not least, from the brilliant idea I saw at my sister's house, this is how I'll store all these new lovely clips. I think it is a great idea to keep the flowers from getting all mushed and messed up.

Anyway, thanks again for stopping by- I hope you have a super great rest of your day and don't forget to join in the giveaway for your chance to win 15 of these to make some of these fun goodies of your own!
