Red Bows

Claire got a red shirt to wear to school, so she needs some red hair bows. The top one is my favorite. It is a black and white houndstooth layered on a red grosgrain ribbon. The charm in the middle is a ladybug. The bottom one is the same red ribbon with a white satin ribbon on top that has red and black hearts.

No Slip Grip

I have discovered a trick for helping hair bows stay in hair. I use Duck brand Hold-it for Rugs. It is a tape that is sticky on one side and has a foam on the other side. I cut a piece that is the same size as my clip and stick it to the inside. You can do both inside sides of the clip or just one side. I found it at Walmart for around $8 next to the duct tape. There seems to be enough on the roll that I can't imagine myself ever running out.

Baby Gifts

I made a few hair bows to give as a baby gift for a friend of mine. She is a New Orleans Saints fan, so I made her a Saints bow (bottom center). I like hers better than mine. The pink bow was made with an extra loop. I don't think the extra loop and extra ribbon made the bow and more special than the regular bows.
