T Shirt Headband/ Flower Tutorial

Alright so to start you need a t shirt of whatever color your head desires, a glue gun (or any type of fabric or craft glue), scissors, and a measurement tool.

Start by deciding where you want to cut from.  For myself I prefer to cut the shirt up the side so I just have a large piece of fabric.

Next is to create the headband first since that is the easiest.  Measure out your head size and subtract at least 2 inches.  How much you subtract by really depends on the type of fabric you are using.  For this shirt I was using I actually took off around 3 1/2 inches.

Take your strip of fabric fold it in half and sew the edge leaving about an 1/4 inch of fabric hanging off that you can trim done later.  Then your are half way done.

Next is making the flower.  Cut a strip of fabric that is 3 inches wide and 24 inches long.  Again this varies by how big or small you wish for your flower to be.  Once you have your desired strip of fabric twist it tightly.

Take you twisted piece of fabric and fold it in half so it twists together.

Now using the glue of your choice glue the two ends together.  Once they are glued together start rolling it like forming a swirl and place a dab of glue as you go to keep the flower together.

Once you have your flower all glued together either sew or glue your flower to the headband.  I usually glue it on top of the seam so you don't have to worry that your seam looks sloppy because it's hidden.  And there you go you have a super cute new hair accessories that cost nothing but a t shirt.  Enjoy!!

So This Is What I've Been Up To....

Since my last exam on Friday I have been working on a finally finished showreel, making hair accessories, and editing some pictures.  I'll start with the latest pictures I've been editing.  So taking pictures of a sports events are not the easiest because one you have no control over your main subject and two it was freezing!!! This boy is my cousin's boyfriend and he plays hockey like there is no tomorrow.

So next is some more hair things I've been coming up with.  I have some cute hair clips and the headbands with flowers on them.  And guess what they are all made out of t-shirts!!!!  And they are super easy to make that's why I'm also gonna make a tutorial on how to make one for yourself.

Blah blah blah

So I would love to be posting more creations, but unfortunately this book is going to be my new best friend until Friday morning at 10 am. Then I can actual catch up. See you soon!

Look Pretty in 1,2,3!!!!

Just in time for the upcoming holidays

Yes I have a special place in my heart for thanksgiving, but unfortunately I have already been preparing for the December holidays. Once I study and take a medical anthropology and general physiology exam I will be happy to create some more hair pretties and let everyone see a sneak peek.

I wish it was gonna be spring not winter

Can't believe it is already November!!! Thank goodness this semester is almost over, but not looking forwards to freezing for the next couple months.  Trying to think warm with some lovely flowers I won't be seeing for a while.

Up and Coming

New hair pieces and other fun stuff for the upcoming holidays are on their way.  Will post pictures soon!!

First "Professional" Photo Shoot

So normally I never set up a formal shoot, I'm always just deciding on a whim and go wherever my car takes me.  Well I decided I would like to try my hand at actual portraits and using a human as my focus.  My lucky guinea pig was my wonderful cousin.  Being the ham she is there was absolutely no problem getting the camera to love her. We went to Glen Falls, her high school, Charles E Burchfield Art Preservative, and Losson "Deer" Park.
