Flower girl shoes!

Man oh man were these fun to do! My original idea was to get a pair of these for each girl and make them into mock ballet slippers by sewing brightly colored ribbon to the bottom in the back and tying it up the girl's legs. Turned out to be expensive and hard because I couldn't find all the sizes I needed.

While trying to figure out what our cute little flower girls were going to be wearing on their feet, I came across these cute plain white shoes at Walmart for only $5 a pair.


I had a thought... How easy would it be to make shiney shoe laces? SUPER EASY! Clear scotch tape and shiney ribbon! Vwa-la!



Of course they couldn't just be done, they needed a little something extra. Glitter! Who doesn't love a little glitter on their shoes? My girls sure do. So here's the finished product, and I think they turned out pretty dang cute :)


P.S. Using a cheap plastic shower cap or, as I used, the slip on food covers (I got a box of 20 at Dollar Tree for $1) is a great way to store shoes for travel. It protects your shoes AND the clothes and other things they are near!

Flower girls Hair Pieces

So I've completed (almost) my first project for the wedding and I'm really pleased with the way they've turned out. Hair pieces for the flower girls and junior bridesmaids!
I used brown tulle and thread, pink roses, orange mini lilies, flat single prong clips from Sally's, pink felt and good old fashioned hot glue.
First I want to showcase my beautiful nieces who are going to be the flower girls and junior bridesmaids. They are in the two photos below. Aren't they gorgeous?


These two in the pictures below are my girls who are also flower girls. My youngest is the main flower girl to be the last to walk out right before the bride.


And these are the hair pieces I made. Turned pretty awesome right? I forgot to make one for my soon-to-be new niece. I'm not used to having another one yet! SO I still have one to go which is why I said 'almost' completed.
And this is how it looks on. (*this is me :)
Feedback is greatly appreciated!! Somehow one of my last pics got deleted and I don't know how to get it back on here without re-uploading it and moving it which I'm too lazy to do at the moment... haha
