Today’s bracelet features silver noodles and faceted Czech fire polish glass beads. It also wraps (ha!) up my month of March Madness… I hope you enjoyed!

Today’s project was a Ribbon Scrap Hair Bow. This is exactly what it sounds and looks like.. a hair bow made using scraps of ribbon! I cross-stitched them together in the center and then hot glued them onto the clip with a wooden button centerpiece. That’s all there is to it!

This project wraps up everything that was planned for March. Throughout the month of April I’ll be making ribbon sculptures/hair clippies! I already have all 30 of the ones I want to do planned out, but in no particular order, so I’ll just be making whichever one from the list floats my fancy that day.

See you tomorrow!

Today I had every intention of making one of those straw bracelets, but even though I swore up and down I had picked up straws at one point, I couldn’t find them anywhere. Since I already had cut a large length of yarn, I decided to use one of my leftover wooden bangles and wrap it!

Here is the Yarn Wrapped Bangle tutorial!

Supplies

• Caron Simply Soft Paint Yarn in Spring Brook
• 5/8″ Wide Wooden Bangle
• Scotch Super Glue Pen (optional)

Instructions

1. Tie your yarn onto the bangle, leaving a tail
2. Tightly wrap the yarn around the entire bangle
3. When you get back to your starting tail, wrap the yarn around the tail
4. On your final wrap, pull the yarn under and knot it off
5. If you want, add a dab of super glue to secure the final knot
6. Enjoy your bangle!

Today’s project was an Embellished Hair Comb. This could be done multiple ways—for instance, gluing on rhinestones—but I chose to go with threading on 4mm beads.

I double-knotted the thread on, then wrapped it around the top of the comb a couple of times before stringing on several beads. I tied the thread off at the end, leaving a bit of a tail which got wrapped over once I added the embroidery thread.

The embroidery thread wrap was done similar to February’s hair comb project. I did one quick wrap between each bead, then wrapped more closely on the way back down, tucking and tying it off at the end. I added a dab of super glue to the final knot for extra hold!

Tomorrow’s project is a Ribbon Scrap Bow!
