check these out! so cute!

hehehe. i did it! i had jewelry wire and plenty of beads and ribbon. she used prettier (and more pricey) swarovski crystals. i just used plastic beads; my kids tend to lose and/or break stuff so its better, lol.

took me about 20 minutes!

when i do buy swarovski crystals, i buy them here.
you pay per bead so you get just what you need. shipping is free and they come very nicely wrapped.

lol, i don't know how many beads. i didn't count, but if i was going to order swarovski beads to make one i'd better find out, lol. these were just plastic ones. to fasten the ribbon on, i doubled the wire in half and formed a loop and then attached one of those crimping thingys? that you squeeze with pliers. and when i was finished with it i made a loop on the other end the same way. there might be a better way; if this was pulled on it could break i guess. i'll have to see if there is another way to do the ends. but it works! i tried it on Chloe and it looks cute.

i'll take a pic of the ends. its not that neat, but you're not going to see it under her hair anyway.
 
was this hard to do? I would love to make these for my nieces for XMAS...they love headbands!
