Like a Diamond in the Sky Tween Girl Room

 Like a Diamond in the Sky Tween Girl Room I did my daughters room! It's officially the only complete room in our remodeled house! Oh, except for some kind of window covering...anyway, It is so fun!  It is so girly! There is so much going on!!! When I was little I had one particular reoccurring dream... in it, there was a big waterfall and river filled with diamonds and gems. I grabbed as many as I could...so excited to keep them. Alas, it was just a dream...how disappointing. I decided to incorporate that dream into this space.  I let my 12 year old daughter have a little say in it. Haha, she asked for a confetti wall. There was no way I was doing just confetti.  First, dad built a bed. Tall enough for great under bed storage. It was such a blessing.  We found this slatted wood frame in the dumpster. We *may* have gone dumpster diving on a late date night...shhh! Then all we needed were 2 by 6's and a power nailer.  :)  Si...

Princess Inspired Hairbows!!!

I've just posted 8 days straight of fun Princess inspired bows. (which, my sister in law informed me, was super tedious) But now, I can have them all compiled into one great reference page  for other bow like-minded people! So yay! One thing you might not have noticed during the last 8 days was that I posted the bows based on when their movie was released...beginning with Snow White and ending with Elsa! I love hairbows! I love the shabby chic look of them, so I generally use 3 elements, Ribbon, feathers and rhinestones. Sometimes chiffon flowers, birdcage veil, or other charms. Anyway, scroll through these in case there are some you don't recognize from last week's bow fiasco! :) Belle Tinkerbell Sleeping Beauty Ariel Cinderella Rapunzel Snow White Elsa Briar Rose Bow Alice in Wonderland Little Bo Peep Pigtail Bows!

Rapunzel Princess Inspired Hairbow!

 Rapunzel  Princess Inspired Hairbow!  I absolutely love Rapunzel! Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies.  We were so excited to meet her at Disney world in 2013. She was so cute and animated!  My daughter just turned 12. She is very girly but is growing up. So we made a bunch of shabby chic hairbows  that are "Princess Inspired" These are perfect for her!  I love satin ribbon.  I use a lot of it, so I ordered a ton of colors and sizes from Papermart . They don't compensate me at all...but I thought I'd share the best prices on ribbon. I used 1 yard each of 3 sizes: 1.5 inch in orchid, 1 inch in light pink and 7/8 inch in orchid.  You will also need: Heavy thread Lighter Scissors   As well as other embellishments. My favorite are marabou boa puffs and plastic rhinestone buttons...available at any craft store. You will also need 2 one inch pieces of 1/4" elastic and a felt circle.  To make...
