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.

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...

Doctor WHO week--Watercolor Galaxy Art!

 Doctor Who Week! Doctor Who inspired Watercolor Galaxy Art!  You will need: Watercolor Paper Watercolors Liquid Frisket Frisket Nib Adhesive Remover (Get the frisket, nib and remover in one purchase here:)   Draw, sketch, splatter, and script on whatever  image you want using the nib and liquid frisket. Let the frisket dry completely. Then get out the watercolors! (I use frog tape to tape my paper down while it's wet) Then brush, splatter, spill or paint water all over the top. Let it soak into the paper a minute or two. Then start adding color! Dabs, splashes, splatters, whatever! Until it's a dark galactic background! Repeat! It's just so much fun! For the Tardis pictures, I just roughly sketched the image. Imagine how amazing it could be if you were actually an artist... No really though...you don't have to be an artist to do this! Same thing...add all colors of paint! Let the paint dry and then splatter on some y...
