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!

Elsa Princess Inspired Hairbow!

Teaching poor values and disregard for right and wrong. It's perfect for marketing because there are 2 blonde princesses in one show! Twice the merch, twice the money! So, despite not liking the show...I still like the Snow Queen idea. And I love Blue and white and snowflakes! My birthday is in January, so that is about all it's good for...which is probably why I like the Snow Queen idea so much. So I made an Elsa inspired hairbow! I used satin ribbon from Papermart They don't compensate me, but they have great quality ribbon. I used 36 inches of these sizes/colors 1.5 inch white, 1 inch Aegean blue, 7/8 inch light blue I used birdcage veil netting and a snowflake rhinestone butto...

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...
