Princess Inspired Hairbows!!!

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.

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...
