These two are sugar and spice and everything nice (when they aren't screaming at the top of their lungs and trying to strangle each other).
One of the best, and worst, things about being a mom to girls has got to be doing hair! There are times when I love doing my girlies' hair and other times (like 5 mins before it is time to go somewhere), I really hate it!
I came across a couple of really cute ideas this past week though and had to share. First, you can never have too many hair pretties, right? Look HERE, HERE, HERE, or HERE for hair pretty tutorials we have on this blog. If you've seen all of the ones here you need to check out the Little Lace Flower Tutorial at Aly & Ash Creations. To be honest I'm not really a lace person, it's not really my style, but I love these little lace flowers! They have such a sweet vintage look to them and are SO easy to make!
Mine are different than the ones in the tutorial but made with the same concept. You see, I didn't have any brads for the center so used vintage buttons, and I also didn't have narrow one sided lace, but I did have this....
I'm not sure where it came from because I don't recall ever having bought lace of any kind, but there you have it! Mine was quite a bit wider and thinner than the lace used in the tute, but it did the trick. I actually wasn't sold on my flowers when I first made them.
But, on a french clip and added to a side pony, it was adorable! The best part was that these two hair barrettes took me less than 10 mins to make. I like fast and easy!
Now, the next blog I need to show you is amazing! If you have a little girl in your life you have to click on over to The Story Of A Princess And Her Hair. There are tons of step by step tutorials on oodles of cute little hairstyles!
My attempt at one of the easier looking styles. I won't even link you to the photo on Princess Hairstyles as my version really doesn't compare, but it was my first attempt. Tons of inspiration and ideas there! I know I will be looking at that blog a ton now that I've found it.
I know, I know, I really neglect little boys on my blog. I have some ideas swirling in my head for my Little Dude that I will share with you guys too. Soon!
