Boy Ties & Crafty Times

I've slacked a little in the crafting department lately but over the last month or so I've managed to make my hands a little useful. First, I only made 2 Valentine crafts. 

Button Heart Pic & Rose ball
I wanted to make 4-6 red/pink/white balls buuuuut...this one took me 2 hours so that was out of the question. I totally underestimated what a time consuming project that was, good grief. NO THANKS

Headband Holders
I've needed these BADLY. In fact, I need to make several more. And I think I'm going to put all our holiday headbands away in a box since those don't need to be out all year and I couldn't fit them all on.
I'm going to place these on a fancy towel rack when I find a cheap one.
They were super easy. I used paper towels and covered them in fabric using a glue gun. Then I tucked in the ends.
Now I just need to get a clip holder made.


 Boy Ties
I have a hard time finding ties for Kayson that
A. I actually like
B. Are affordable
So I decided to find a way to make them. I found this fantastic tutorial & free pattern online.
Mine could use some work but this was my first attempt. I'm definitely going to make my own ties from now on. And how fun it would be to match them to the girls' headbands and outfits!
 (the pattern on the far right tie didn't match up the way I intended but it'll do)
