I love these tutorials- I’ve had so much fun checking in every day for new ideas. Thanks!
I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to win a Sew Mama Sew gift certificate.
The covered barrettes are adorable! Wish I had a little girl to wear them.
Great gift ideas today! I’m going to include the headbands in goody bags for my daughter’s burthday party, I think the 6 year old girls will love them! While you’re at Suzanne’s site checking out the headband tutorial also look at her bagsket. Very cool!!
Love the headbands! And the barrette! Thank you guys for putting together all of these fabulous tutorials!
Those curlers are a wonderful idea! Thanks for all the inspiration this month!
Wonderful ideas! I’ve learned tips to make the headbands and hairclips I already make much easier to do. Thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas this month!
Great tutorials. Now I just need to find a way to get my little girl to stop taking stuff out of her hair…
Pretty barrettes, cute headbands and curlers! What more can a girl ask for!
Those felt covered hair clips are PERFECT! Can’t wait to stuff my daughter’s stocking with them

Thanks for putting these ideas together!! This has become one of the first things I check in the mornings. The barette ideas are so timely. I was planning to put a few together for the girls in my daughter’s preschool class. Thanks again for this entire month’s worth of ideas!
Too cute!!!

I can’t wait for the next day’s tutorials! These were great! I especially love the hair curlers. We used to use paper and called them papelitos!

Fabric curlers! Brilliant…I may need to start wearing headbands.
Thank you Karen for your great tutorials on the different headbands! =]
Love the hair curlers! I may have to try my hand at those! I remember sleeping in curlers as a little girl….ouch!

Those curlers are intriguing! I may need to try that soon.
Thank you so much for this month of tutorials! I haven’t commented before now, but I’m really enjoying each and every day full of craftiness.
These would make great stocking stuffers!! Thanks for sharing!
Great ideas. I can think of a few little girls who need covered hair clips and hairbands in their stockings. I’m off to have a look at those hair curlers too.
Sure – you post these wonderful ideas the week AFTER I cut 8 inches off my hair and donate it! I might be able to use the barrettes though. Beautiful stuff!
Love the covered barrettes! Now if my youngest would just grow enough hair to wear them! I’ll start making them now for that day! Love all the tutorials!
cute hair clips! saw them before on amy’s blog!
my daughter is being spoiled in handmade goodness this year…the skirts, the crayon roll-ups, and now hair-do thingy-ma-bobs (as we call them!) THANK YOU for this site! I am so very excited for christmas this year!!! (normally i get a little sick in the tummy over it)…aaaahhh sweetness!
I loved the covered barrettes (and most other things this month, too!). Will be making some as soon as I get some felt sent over to the North of Brazil (for some reason not readily available in crafting shops over here…).
Great idea for the barrets! Looks fun! I want to try the best headband ever too.
I love those covered barrettes!!
Thanks for more and more gift ideas! I am loving the covered barrettes!!!
I want to make the best headband ever for myself and those clips for my daughter. I think this months posts will keep me busy long after Christmas!

I’m so gonna make those headbands! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Time to make some cute headbands…
Been meaning to make some headbands for a while – thanks for all the different options!
ribbon headband = so simple! What a great idea. Thanks!
barrettes? we dont have that word in England! just plain old hair clips… thanks for the links to more fabulous tutorials and also expanding my vocabulary!
The felt barrettes are sweet. I must have missed that blog entry of Angry Chicken’s, so thanks for pointing it out. Keep the ideas coming so I can live up to the handmade pledge this year!
I’ve seen those barrettes selling for lots of money. Thanks for the link!!! My little girl will love them!

Yet again, Amaazing! The barrettes are adorable and perfect. Excellent stocking stuffer for my daughter!
Neat idea for my Mum!
The headbands, I’ve bought a couple off of etsy… saw how easy they were but having a pattern will be perfect! I have some cute fabric that would suit the curlers too
What adorable barrettes! I love making my 2 girls all kinds of hair goodies so those will be on my list for sure! Thank you for posting all these great Tuts!!!

I’ve always wanted to make my own fabric-covered headbands to match my outfits…I am so looking forward to digging into this tutorial!
Can’t wait to make a few for my girls! Thanks.
Really cute hair clips. These would be perfect for my granddaughter.
Love the hair things and hope that the tutorials will still be around when the pixie’s hair decides to grow. 8 months and still bald. Oh well…
With six daughters in the house these tutorials are PERFECT!!!!
Cute…love how quick and easy these are!
Great ideas! Do you think an overweight, middle-aged woman can get away with those covered hair clips?? I so want them!
The hair curlers are SO funny and they look great!

I have 4 grandaughters and their parents are asking that toys be reduced to almost nothing. I am in total agreement as we are all reducing the buying this year. Handmade gifts will now be even more important in our effort to reduce, reuse, recycle. My girls will be getting some of these lovely hair clips, headbands, etc. for Christmas. Thank you for the awesome site.
The headband projects ROCK! Love them,!! How cute are those rollers? That brings back memories from when I was little and every Sat nite my mom would “roll” my hair for church! Thank you for the great memory!
jenn
these are so fun! I have some great silk remnants just waiting to be made into scarves for my hair…maybe I’ll get to that this weekend.
I love the reversable head band. How cute! I’ll be making a bunch of these.
I love the curlers! They will be great for my daughters hair.
Great ideas! I want some barretts for me!
I love the cloth curlers! Never would have thought to make those.
Thanks for the tutorials.
These are all great! The little covered barrettes would be great for my girls and the Best Band Ever” would be great for myself to keep my hair out of my face when I’m crafting. Thank you so much for posting these.
Nice ideas for left-over small pieces of fabric!
cute headbands. i really like the fabric choices.
I love the hair accessories! I am really excited to get to work on some of these fabulous gifts!
Thank you, thank you!
Love these….and have a few neices that these would love these…great idea
Deby
I love the hair clips! Well, I know my daughter would love them
what a great gift idea!
I am in love with that ‘Best Band Ever’!
Those curlers are so cool! I love to get a bit of info with my craft tech… ^-^
i love the handmades series!!!!!!!! so great! thank you!!!!
Last night, I made your narrow headband for my 6 YO daughter. Had to shorten the braided elastic but otherwise it fits great. She chose blue and white snowflake fabric on one side and green and red Christmas wreath fabric for the other. She loves it and wore it to school today. I am a knitter and I typically do not sew, as I find it too challenging, but this project was really simple. I used Decor Bond fusible lining and it worked well. THANKS!
